Description

Internet Archive offers audio and video hosting, and looks to be compatible with wordpress.

https://archive.org/help/audio.php?identifier=kirlian_crossing_acid_test_reels_vol4

I have been using/testing this with the audio here:

https://archive.org/details/kirlian_crossing_acid_test_reels_vol4

Because the IA has the native audio player, it would be ideal if this could be embedded and displayed on the Commons. It would offer an alternative space to host audio and video outside of our sites' media libraries.

Can we make the short code or embed codes compatible with the Commons?

Yes, this should be possible.

The documentation page gives a bunch of options https://archive.org/help/audio.php?identifier=kirlian_crossing_acid_test_reels_vol4 - autoplay, multiple files, etc. Do we want to support all of these? It makes the job a lot more complex. In contrast, it's easy to create a simple tool that recognizes a URL like https://archive.org/details/kirlian_crossing_acid_test_reels_vol4 and swaps it out with the simple embedded player. What do you think?

That sounds good to me! I don't think we need to support all the player options.

Thanks!

Thanks for confirming, Laurie. I've added a shortcode:

[internet-archive-audio url="https://archive.org/details/kirlian_crossing_acid_test_reels_vol4"]

as well as a regular embed handler (URL on its own line). https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cac/commit/526641a46b8782560c24a5f0d4f649b5b9f15c5f
