Hi folks, First: I like this neat little audio player, this is a really cool idea, Florian, thanks for making it!
Second: After testing shortly with Josiah’s example (I like the Leonard Cohen songs) I came to the conclusion that it would be the job of SoundCite to use something like the TW state mechanism <https://tiddlywiki.com/#StateMechanism> in order to retain or restore the state of a song during the TW (re)rendering process. The strex macro does it in that way, this is why you can open a strex element, close the tiddler, search for the tiddler and reopen it – and taddaaah! – strex elements have the same state as before. As the tabs as well as standard tiddlers demonstrate, it is a TW thing and not the problem of neither the tabs or the strex macro. To test the standard tiddler case you can go to Leonard Cohen <https://tidbits.wiki/soundcite/soundcite.html> and play a tune there. Close the tiddler, then search for "Leonard" and reopen the tiddler. TW will render all the contents again. So now the soundcite macro should check for the associated sound file, if it is already playing and adjust the play-button accordingly. But it doesn’t and shows the initial state with the play button. How would this work? When I hit play, a new tiddler should be created: title: $:/state/soundcite/https://ia801205.us.archive.org/16/items/LeonardCohen-YouWantItDarker2016/01YouWantItDarker.mp3 text: playing Based on this state tiddler, the macro could know about the button to display on rerendering. Honestly I have no clue about other states that would be nice to have: paused at [time], ended, ... maybe in a field you could save a counter for how many times a song has been played. Would all that be possible via JS? Third: A hint about CamelCase linking. I think it would be possible to switch that off for your script tiddlers only by applying Pragma rules <https://tiddlywiki.com/#Pragma>, but I never found out where you would be able to look them up. Maybe others can help here. All the best, Thomas (the one who built strex) Am Samstag, 13.
