Two music-players per post limit?

[Dreamsong 253]

I've run into this a couple times when linking to mp3's streamed from other servers, (including Pony.fm,) that only the first two links receive players, the rest are just click-on-me-and-open-in-a-new-tab links.

 

I was wondering if this might be able to be increased.

 

This would be helpful for, (including but not limited to)  :

• For having a listing of one's music on one's profile page
• For actors submitting multiple mp3's for auditions

 

Just wondering!

What would a reasonable limit be to raise that to?

 

With 2 embeds allowed per post, that can theoretically bring us up to 40 players per page. YouTube players in particular are rather heavy, and that many of its players on one page may cause performance issues for people browsing the thread.

 

I'm working on a different embed mechanism to embed Pony.fm tracks, specifically, into forum posts here which will make them behave like attachments rather than embeds - ergo, bypassing the embed limit. That will take some time to properly implement, though.

Id say perhaps 3 or 4?

 

While it is only 1 or 2 more, it will settle some things. Otherwise people can just link the rest of their music without the need for in embedded player. It shouldn't be too hard to just go to Pony FM and listen to the music....

 

IF you have multiple tracks the linking to Pony Fm would be better then constantly cramming music into a post...

 

But if you want to show 3 or 4 songs, I suppose it would be better for embedding....

 

Thats my opinion atleast, no need to quote me on it
