[Plugin: SoundCloud Is Gold] soundcloud – html5

Oh and I found this too for javascript player for soundcloud

Your first link is a well known work around to fall back on the browser capability to play sound with their default html5 player.

Soundcloud doesn’t help much on letting developers using their html5 player that is used in the mobile version of soundcloud.com

As you seem to have done some research, maybe you could create a plugin that mimic the soundcloud player using html5?

Haha… I would love to, but I have never created a plugin before and am not sure I have quite enough knowledge yet. Plus I am definitely not ready to take on a project like that on my own, though maybe someday.

Honestly, this “Soundcloud Is Gold” plugin is already pretty awesome. I could totally see it having a tick-box option to allow for an html5 or javascrit player for non-flash capable browsers.

I’d be happy to help beta test it if someone has the skills to implement the code.

The javascript player looks intriguing to me. I have been trying to work it into my theme, but I am having some problems with it displaying correctly.

Thank you for the praise, always nice to hear positive feedbacks.

It’s a shame Soundcloud doesn’t make available their html5 player, everyone is just asking for it. You would think that it would be a priority as more and more people are using apple’s products.

Anyways, the problem with the custom player is that I can imagine spending lots of time mimicking the flash player and then having soundcloud finally releasing their html5 player.

I guess I could integrate a simple js/html5 player using soundcloud’s custom player to fall back when people are using iphones and ipads. I put that on the todo list.

Thanks again for your feedback and your time.
