Hi all,
As far as I can see the only existing audio player macro currently is this one by @ludovic, based on the Dewplayer JavaScript library, a JavaScript library which is not maintained anymore. There’s also the JW player Macro by @mflorea and others for playing multimedia files but it does not seem to expose a stripped down UI for audio only.
Hence I would like to introduce a new audio player macro, with a simple UI for playing audio files, and offering the following features:
- UI which can be easily styled along an XWiki theme
- Volume control
- Total time display
- Current position in time
- Forward / backward buttons
- Pause and play buttons
- Download button
- Ability to insert several players in the same page
- Easily customizable
So far the most convincing widget I came across is Green audio player, its development is inactive since 2 years but it’s rather simple and shouldn’t be complex to maintain imho.
Before requesting the creation of a contrib repository for possibly turning that one to a webjar and a macro, I’m curious to know if you have identified any other suitable players or if you have other approach suggestions.
Cheers
Stéphane
