Where are Audio/Video Playlists?

    I finally took the dive into Gutenberg and I am pretty stoked with how it is going. So far I’ve only noticed that I can’t get an audio or video playlist working when using Gutenberg.

    I did search the web and found a thread on github and a link to a repo from someone working on this very thing but alas I have no idea how to implement the code in that particular repo (looks like it might be the dev version of gutenberg plugin).

    So just hoping for some good news or at least to be told I am doing something wrong ??

    Playlist block isn’t finalized yet, but it is in the works. Might be in the next version or two. You can follow along on its progress here:

    Okay, thank you. That is the github page I speak of.

    For now I have been able to use shortcode block and add:

    [playlist ids="123,456,789"]

    this does require you to know your file id’s but is a decent enough workaround till it’s sorted

    How can I find the playlist ids for. 70 songs I want to add to a playlist? Is there a way to view the playlist ids for multiple audio files?

    @rmcellig I found them by hovering over the files in the media gallery and viewing the id in the link preview. Alternately you can click on the media file in question and view the id in the url.

    For example: ‘…min/post.php?post=66&action=edit’

    The id would be 66

    ** not sure of how to do multiples at one time ??

    Thanks! Maybe there is a plugin that does this. I’ll see if there is. ??

    Any progress? Looks like Playlists may not remain a central feature of Gutenberg and there is talk of relegating them to a plug in.

    Anyway, did anyone find a more efficient process of finding and listing the media ID’s for the Shortcode block???

    I think https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/echo-show-ids/ should do a good job (I used another plugin but can’t find it right now)
