How does one get [audio] to work in the blog?
-
I read all the FAQ’s and Forums inputs on [audio] but just cannot get it to work. Hope some one can explain in simple clear instructions what I’m doing incorrectly and how to fix this problem.
This is what I’m doing:
1. Write a new post.
2. Name it ‘test’
3. switch to ‘HTLM’
4. enter the following text into the post while in HTML mode:
[audio http://www.iseti.us/podcast/001-ISETI-2008-05-31+(WhyTheNameISETI).mp3]
5. Save the post
6. Preview the post
7. Shows up blank.Thanks for a working solution.

Thanks, but I just changed the link to remove +-() symbols to
[audio http://www.iseti.us/podcast/001ISETI20080531WhyTheNameISETI.mp3]andwas inserted by WordPress -

If you copy paste your above code in HTML window ‘[audio http://www.iseti.us/podcast/001ISETI20080531WhyTheNameISETI.mp3%5D‘, and if you publish and nothing shows up, then you should contact the support.
I tested above code and it works fine.

So it ends up in one line here in the forum:
[audio http://www.iseti.us/podcast/001ISETI20080531WhyTheNameISETI.mp3] -

I just tried it in my test blog and it reported an error when I tried to play it. I then double-clicked the file name and got an error:

Open IIS Help, which is accessible in IIS Manager (inetmgr), and search for topics titled Web Site Setup, Common Administrative Tasks, and About Custom Error Messages.There is a problem with the path, or something at iseti.us.

For some odd reasons, when I copy your MP3 code and paste it in my browser address bar, it adds an extra characters at the end:
http://www.iseti.us/podcast/001ISETI20080531WhyTheNameISETI.mp3%5DSee if it does the same for you and perhaps this may be the problem. After I delete %5D your MP3 works fine.
-
I found out that it is trying to resolve the path
http://www.iseti.us/podcast/001ISETI20080531WhyTheNameISETI.mp3%5D
with the square brackets at the end, when the path is
[audio src="http://www.iseti.us/podcast/001ISETI20080531WhyTheNameISETI.mp3" /]
-
Never mind, that extra characters is the bracket. I recommend you type your code again and only copy/paste the MP3 URL and close it by typing the bracket at the end. Your podcast does work, I can hear it through my browser.
-
I did that. Even deleted the post and started over, manually typing everything. Still does not work.
Thanks,

Does the iseti.us site support hotlinking at all, though? Has anyone ever successfully used an MP3 hosted on their site in this fashion? That’s what I’d look for in the first place.
In the second, you don’t need to use the Code (HTML) editor to add the [audio] code. You can just type it in the regular editor.
Try using this code instead just to see if it’s the code or something else:
[audio src="http://odeo.com/show/8263543/4/download/SteelDrumBand2.mp3" /]

Your code works, but it does not stream. if I just use http://www.iseti.us/podcast/001ISETI20080531WhyTheNameISETI.mp3
this too works but it does not stream.So far [audio ...] in any variation has not worked for me. I was using garage band to host the audio files, but embeding directly into WordPress blog should be the correct elegant approach.
Tried using JV player http://www.jeroenwijering.com/ and found out that WP no longer allows scripting.
-
WP.com has never allowed it as far as I know. Certainly not in the two and a half years I’ve been here.
It’s unusual; my code works just fine on my blogs. And your MP3 works just fine on them as well.
There is another possibility: that they are live links when you put them in. They must NOT be live links; in other words, if they are highlighted like active HTML links, you must put your cursor on there and hit the “Break Link” icon to ensure they are not live links, otherwise they will buffer forever. Check that and see if it helps.
-
Tried that, too. If you go to the end of the code and press the delete key, the link will eventaully turn on. I then broke the link. Saved and previewed. It is blank.
Thanks,
