Pony.fm Forum Embed

[Marcato 2,143]

Hey all, I just remembered something about being able to add soundcloud content to forum posts with [media] tags. 

 

Now I think something that would be really useful would be to make a BBCode or add to the [media] functionality so that you can embed Pony.FM tracks into your posts! I found soundclouds compatibility with the forums a really useful feature, so I thought it would be nice to have a similar thing with Pony.FM.

 

Thoughts?

That'd be pretty awesome since pony.fm is already connected through the board here. It'd be like an official localization dealeo, so I'd be down for that.

This feature is already doable, apparently. Feld0 showed off a screenshot (via Skype) that featured an embeddable media player that can be used here and in other parts of the web. I'll see if I can find it...

Embeddable Pony.fm players are absolutely going to happen. Just haven't had time to implement it yet.

That was not actually an embeddable player, but I'm glad that it fooled you. This is what you're referring to:

 

 

The purpose of this "badge" is to embed a clickable image into sites that do not support the embeddable player, with the hope being that the image looks enough like a player that people will try to click it (because it's not actually a player, though, it will open up the track's page on Pony.fm, where it will be playable).

That's terribly deceptive of you....XD

I'm happy to report that this feature has been added!
