Topic: Embedded Soundcloud Player

I hate to be a pain, but also requesting a Soundcloud player plugin as previously proposed in ttp://punbb.informer.com/forums/topic/25405/req-extension-punbb-soundcloud

For threads where a lot of audio links are posted (see ttp://doujinstyle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5007 for example), it would be VERY useful to be able to embed the SC player

Soundcloud have already developed a plugin for phBB (ttp://blog.soundcloud.com/2009/07/28/soundcloud-player-in-forums-5-step-guide-for-soundcloud-bb-code/); would it be possible to do something similar for punBB?

thanks a lot in advance!

Well, punBB is aimed at being a light forum software. Embedding players are bound to make it heavy.

That is my opinion. Leaving the rest to developers.

Re: Embedded Soundcloud Player

Feature requests is also a place for extensions developers. If I have time, I will do that (but I don't promise).

I really like your "Fancy Video Tag" extension. Maybe you should re-name it to "Fancy Media Tag" and add some (music) players like Soundcloud?

Re: Embedded Soundcloud Player

SoundCloud supported in new extension Fancy Media.
Currently it requires Adobe Flash, but I'm working on it.

Re: Embedded Soundcloud Player

Why would you want to include Soundcloud into a forum?

You could simple post the URL to the soudcloud page and people can click on it.
