Course Audio

Is there currently any possibility to use audio instead of video in a course? If so, I'd be glad to see how it can be done.

The shortcode isn't working, there's no integration with audio players (Presto, HTML audio player), and sometimes a lesson isn't just about video.

I'd appreciate any help :)

Not tested it but I would have thought you could embed an audio player via the embed html option or as a shortcode. What audio player are you using?

Michal Paczula

Ross HΒ thanks for reply!

I'm using the HTML5 audio player, which has many shortcode options, but none of them work with Fluent Community. Oembed doesn't work either...

Ross HΒ how you did that?

Michal Paczula

Ross HΒ thanks

but in that case, we provide an unencoded player depending on the browser someone is using. Additionally, users can download the content, and we have no control over the appropriate controls (speed up, slow down).

That’s why I want the option to use a dedicated player :)

Ross FCA

Michal PaczulaΒ Sorry just trying to keep up - do you want them to be able to change playback speed and download or not? This code can be customized to your liking I believe.

Ross HΒ  I learned something new today in this, thank you!
What are your thoughts about self-hosting audio files? (I assume this would be the case with this player?)

Ross FCA

The html is quite flexible actually

Michal Paczula

Ross HΒ Thank youβ€”I was so focused on it needing to be a plugin that I completely dismissed the possibility of using attributes and simple HTML. :)
Everything works smoothly now, although obviously, having a dedicated player would be better (I noticed Shahjahan JewelΒ  mentioned it today).

Great job, you've helped me a lot!

Ross FCA

Michal PaczulaΒ That's great news - hopefully it will be enough for now :)

I used a private podcast player as an embed

Ushan Boyd

Lee BuschΒ Which one?

Ushan BoydΒ  I'm sorry, I never saw this notification. I bought Disctopia when it was on special. It does audio, or optionally video. I use HTML embeds for it.
