Hi,

I have a Tiddlywiki file that I use for serving local audio files ( I use TiddlyDesktop. No Nodejs server).

In my tiddler I use the following code to display the HTML-5 audio element

The audio directory is located at the same level as my tiddlywiki.html file.

This works properly

I'm currently trying to test the same functionality on 5.1.18 but with the nodejs server option.

So I've copy the audio directory in the same directory as the one containing tiddlywiki.info file
I've created a tiddler with the same code

That does not works. I click on the play button but Tiddlywiki does not find the audio file to serve.

Any idea ?

Is it even possible ?

With regards

Vpl

Unless things have changed, TW on node.js doesn't serve anything except TW data structures.

Bob and TiddlyServer can serve up images, pdfs ... don't know if they do audio.

Good luck

TiddlyWiki v5.1.18 can serve static files, see here:

https://tiddlywiki.com/prerelease/#Using%20the%20integrated%20static%20file%20server

I'm currently trying to test the same functionality on 5.1.18 but with the nodejs server option.
So I've copy the audio directory in the same directory as the one containing tiddlywiki.info file
I've created a tiddler with the same code
<audio src="audio/cours/chorus-travail-debit.mp3" preload="auto" controls></audio>

Note that the files need to go into a folder called “files” in the wiki folder (ie a sibling to the “tiddlers” folder”). They are referenced as `/files/<filename>` so your audio tag should look like:

Best wishes

Fantastic. This is working. I've seen the note on the pre-release mentioning the need to use this "files" directory, but I thought it was for pdf etc ,,, But obviously an .mp3 is a file ... indeed.!
