Feature Request: Add FLAC and AAC as media types
suterma opened this issue · comments
In config/media, many file types are included by default, including audio files, like e.g. MP3. I suggest that you also add FLAC and AAC files there since these are also popular file types.
Additionally, I suggest that these are also added in the media player handler mentioned here: https://learn.getgrav.org/17/content/media#audio-actions
Currently, these files do not produce an audio element, even when added to the configuration media.
Hi @suterma
In fact Grav has support for those types of audio files, you just have to add the extensions in config/media.yaml, as follows:
flac:
type: audio
thumb: media/thumb-fla.png
mime: audio/flac
image:null
aac:
type: audio
thumb: media/thumb-aac.png
mime: audio/aac
image:null
Then on your page load the audio files and call them from the page editor. Here I show you a screenshot (and I can assure you that the audio plays)
Flac sample
![sample3.flac](sample3.flac)
AAC sample
![sample3.aac](sample3.aac)
Thanks @pmoreno-rodriguez for coming back to me. It now works, however, I had also one more problem to fix: I forgot the exclamation mark in front of the FLAC-link:
DID NOT WORK: [FLAC](8%20-%20Truth.flac?preload=metadata)
DOES WORK: ![FLAC](8%20-%20Truth.flac?preload=metadata)
