JS script for background soundtrack

Headquarter8302·7/21/2021 in Script Suggestions

It's basically a script that fetches the specified provider's API to get the sound file, and many other music services such as Spotify, Soundcloud, etc.

And then playing it in the page where the script is specified to play, for example, in a MediaWiki:Custom-BackgroundAudio:

Example|youtube|dQw4w9WgXcQ|5

It would play the audio from YouTube with the video ID of dQw4w9WgXcQ with a volume of 5 in the page "Example"

Is this possible? Or would it violate the customization policy?

There is DraggableYouTubePlayer for users who want to listen to music while browsing wiki pages. Autoplaying sound is not going to be allowed sitewidely, such options have been removed from features and scripts which had them in the recent years.

I mean, if the script is personal and the admins of the wiki just set the link on a custom system message, I don't see how would that violate anything.

Ah, okay then

It could be annoying to people who don't like that, but it would be cool if you can do that.

You actually need to install a two side script, the user script and the wiki script, this makes sure that users who doesn't install the user side script doesn't hear the audio, a compromise for the Customization Policy

How would you install it?

Note: this is only speculation:

The "wiki script" would be located in ImportJS

The "user script" would go in either User:Username/(Common / Fandomdesktop).js

Sorry... what?

First. Congratulations on necroposting. Second, this script doesn't exist yet, and Friendly Mountain12's interpretation of script installation is the nearest

Thanks?

And got it. :)

What do you think?
