Features

<a href="http://example.com/path/to/audio-or-video.mp4">Example audio or video</a>

If you write a link like above, Link2Player replaces it with jPlayer.

Supported audio

.m4a .mp3 .ogg .oga .fla .wav .webma

Supported video

.m4v .mp4 .flv .ogv .webmv .webm

Playable or not belongs to browser accessing your blog. mp3, m4a, m4v, mp4 may be playable in most browsers.

How it works

  1. Load javascript and css in the Plugin part(php)
  2. Select link for audio/viode(jQuery)
  3. Replace links with jPlayer(jQuery)

Selecting links by extension like $('a[href$=mp3]'). If there is a query string( ?foo=bar ) or extension not supported, Link2Player does not work. Most are written in JavaScript. If your theme loads old jQuery in it's own accord, Link2Player may not work. I have not tried with any old jQuery.

Notes

  • jQuery: included in the WordPress.
  • jPlayer: 2.1.0 included in Link2Player plugin.
  • Blue Monday skin: included in Link2Player plugin.
  • Player design is not customizable.
