Audio shortcode and FTP address?
-
Hi,
Is it correct that i can’t use the [audio] shortcode for playing songs from a FTP server?
Why is that the case?
I.e. [audio src="ftp://domain.com/audio.mp3"] is not working. Any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me.
The FTP server does allow anonymous connections. I can download the MP3 file anonymously, but when embedding it in the audio shortcode, it won’t play.Firefox console says: NotSupportedError: The media resource indicated by the src attribute or assigned media provider object was not suitable.
Hi,
Just found that Chrome and FF (probably Edge also) are blocking FTP requests (embeds) in a http(s) webpage: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/software/firefox-follows-chrome-and-blocks-the-loading-of-most-ftp-resources/Not sure however, if this is also the case for FTPS URLs.
If I recall correctly, Firefox is removing support for ftp and Chrome is headed that way. So, it would be helpful if your FTP server also accepted
HTTP/HTTPS requests.https://www.zdnet.com/article/firefox-to-remove-support-for-the-ftp-protocol/
