I’d like to see the ability to embed and playback audio and video files similar to how images can be embedded into the file. Its open source nature, versatility to play back almost any format, and copyleft licensing should be able to make this simple and easy (from the laypersons view).
Is this a possibility? Low effort to integrate?
Thanks for sharing that idea! We already looked into that, and it’s not something that can be done quickly since it needs to work on Windows, Linux, macOS, browsers, and maybe even iOS in the future. It would also make the app about 5 times bigger because we’d have to bundle all the audio and video codecs with it. So that’s not something we’re planning to do anytime soon.
I see, you want parity among platforms. How I wish you had some sort of plug-in system, or if a platform didn’t support something it would just be a ? and notice that’s says Media Incompatible. Dang do we need audio and video playback as easy as inserting pictures…
Totally get how useful this could be at times! However, we aim to keep the app lightweight and snappy across all supported platforms, so this would work against that goal
