Hi folks, hopefully you can give me some pointers.

I'm having an issue linking a tiddler containing an external audio link.

I have followed a similar process detailed in the www.tiddlywiki.com - "Audio" tiddler for External Audio after downloading an empty tw5 file.

Installing the external file plug in tiddler that gives the "_canonical uri" reference allows me to play the local audio in a single tiddler which plays ok.

But I can't seem to reference that audio file from other tiddlers in the same way that it's done within the "Audio" tiddler (for the Caruso game Ave Maria example)

This is how I reference it:

<<wikitext-example-without-html '{{Local song}}'>>

Which in the Local song tiddler is referenced as
/storage/emulated/0/andtidwiki/chess/sample.wav

Interestingly, I also downloaded a copy of the main wiki file, and if I make edits to the audio tiddler below the Caruso example it works OK, so is the another plug in that I need to allow this to work?

Thanks
Al

the macro "wikitext-example-without-html" is only part of the tiddlywiki.com site - don't use it.

You only need to use

{{Local song}} on its own, not in that macro


all the best

Perfect. Thanks very much, BJ

(can't believe how long I spent mucking about with that ;-)
