Supported File Types:

* [FUTURE] More types to be added in due-course.

Features:

* Determination of MIME type from file extension (for images and mp3 only).
* Real meta-data added for JPG/PNG/GIF files.
* [FUTURE (v1.1+ as above)] Addition of real meta-data to WordPress for file where available, or sensible generic meta-data where not.

How it works:

  1. Upload file(s) to Internet Archive (archive.org).
  2. Set up IA prefix in Admin >> Media >> Internet Archive Media Library >> URL Prefix.
  3. Add file name in WordPress Admin >> Media >> Internet Archive Media Library >> Map File.
  4. Go to WordPress Admin >> Media >> Library. Now you can see your Internet Archive file in preview.
  5. Once added you can edit meta-data and/or delete media from the Media Library in the normal way.
