audio player and skydrive
-
Hi, I’m trying to link audioplayer to an mp3 on windows live skydrive. The WP blog page url is: http://journeymanconsultant.wordpress.com/perla-six-music/audio/
The code I’m using in the page is: [audio http://cid-d57924fd754c5ac8.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/dirty%20protest%20audacity.mp3%5D. The url in the code is ‘unlinked’.
It returns the player icon, which indicates “buffering”, but fails to play.
Any suggestions ?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Just tried the url from within the code above… and it shows “file missing” on skydrive. Have replaced code with:
[audio http://cid-d57924fd754c5ac8.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/dirty%20protest%20audacity.mp3%5D
This is the correct url. It still returns “buffering” and doesn’t play.

ah ! STILL returns “file missing” (which can include “you don’t have permission to view”). Does this mean WP can’t access the file. It is saved in a “public” area on skydrive and can be publicly accessed through the url though ???
anyone know the answer to this ?

It won’t work because the URL you’re using is a webpage, not the actual mp3. You need to download the mp3 and upload it to a host that gives direct URLs (e.g. Fileden or Getdropbox).
