Jordan Miller Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hey team, now that IPB is getting some love with 4.5 and singing in via your Apple account, wondering... would it be possible to also integrate a way to include Apple Music embeds like Spotify? Including on 4.4 😇 My members feel like I'm sabotaging them by not allowing Apple Music to embed on the forum 😆 Anyone else missing this feature?

Ryan Ashbrook Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 As far as I can tell, Apple Music does not actually support Oembed, so it doesn't seem possible until they do. Jordan Miller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) What would you want to embed? The 30-seconds previews? Looks like that is all they provide. And where do they access this to potentially share it? In iTunes? Edited June 29, 2020 by opentype Jordan Miller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) @breatheheavy send me a sample link via PM. A third-party embedding site (like iframely) should be able to do this, and I've been playing with adding this to an existing plugin. I can test it out to show you how it will look.

You can embed 🙂 Unless embed is different than Oembed? Here's an example: <iframe allow="autoplay *; encrypted-media *;" frameborder="0" height="150" style="width:100%;max-width:660px;overflow:hidden;background:transparent;" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation" src="https://embed.music.apple.com/us/album/watermelon-sugar/1485802965?i=1485802967"></iframe> 2 hours ago, opentype said: What would you want to embed?

It then opens up on the user's app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opentype Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 I think the “copy link” code can be turned into an auto embed, just like with YouTube. Probably better suited for a third-party plugin though without the oEmbed. But I let Nathan go first. 😉 Jordan Miller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet but maybe no one cared but me till now 😂 Also, not to conflate the topics at-hand, but maybe a Tik Tok integration as well 😏 But one thing at a time 🤭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Explosion Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Here is what iframe.ly will provide for the link above, in conjunction with https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/8963-ne-oembedservices-management/ The cheaper option (as iframe.ly could cost you a bit monthly, plus the plugin)...you've also pointed out that they provide embed code themselves - you can create a custom button in the Editor, add 'music.apple.com' as an Allowed iFrame Base for the Editor, and then take the URL...but it requires the user to click the Editor button, paste the URL, and then the viewer of the content to not have anything that protects against X-frames policy.

Interesting! My first takeaway is that this is great that this *can* be done. 👍 Second, asking the user to paste a link from a button in the toolbar is a little confusing considering every other method to include media/embeds is done by pasting a link. Are we absolutely sure that there isn't an option to simply paste the link and it auto embeds? Why is Spotify, YouTube etc all free but Apple Music costs money? That's super curious. We're definitely on the right track though! 44 minutes ago, Eudemon said: where do all your ideas come from They just appear 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it (Apple) doesn't support oembed - a 3rd party resource is required to do the embedding automatically, and that then needs to be integrated with the IPS software. It's an option, it might not be the only option. Edited June 29, 2020 by Nathan Explosion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others obviously have paid tiers, but also include free tiers. Very on brand for Apple 🤭 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3rd-party I indicated, iframe.ly, do - for processing the embedding for you, if you go above a certain number of hits a month Not sure how you've managed to misconstrue the above information, and what I put in the PM, to meaning that Apple is doing the charging here.

Joy Rex Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 That being said, I've wanted a proper Bandcamp and Apple Music embed, and as @Nathan Explosion says, it's due to iFramely charging to do the embed work to get around their lack of oEmbed support. I've created a Bandcamp embed button, and it requires my users to paste in the AlbumID from the WordPress code Bandcamp's embed feature offers. They've gotten used to it, and they can't embed single tracks since the button only takes one input parameter, but it's better than nothing. I tried an Apple embed button but gave up after a bit - can't recall exactly why though. If I remember, I'll follow up on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Explosion Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) Nope - nobody asked for further information on how to add the button, so I didn't provide the steps. Easy... In ACP, go to Customization -> (EDITOR) Toolbars Click 'Add Button' Go to the 'Custom' tab Fill it out as you wish (track down an apple logo in PNG format, maybe?) but adhere to the following: - "Use option" - turn this on - In the HTML field, enter the following as the code <iframe allow="autoplay *; encrypted-media *;" frameborder="0" height="150" style="width:100%;max-width:660px;overflow:hidden;background:transparent;" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation" src="{option}"></iframe> Save the button, and then move it on to your toolbar. Then, click (EDITOR) Settings Go to the Advanced tab In 'Allowed iframe bases' and add *.apple.com, and then click Save That should be it - then you test things out and you go from there, but keep in mind that the viewer of the content may need to do further work as they may have something in place that protects against X-frames usage. Additionally - have you taken a look at this plugin, and enquired as to whether it can do what you are asking? (I don't know if it does - I don't know what the backend service is that is being used) Edited June 30, 2020 by Nathan Explosion Joy Rex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy Rex Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Here's a Google search for an Apple MUSIC logo as a transparent PNG: https://www.google.com/search?q=apple+music+logo+transparent&newwindow=1&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS815US815&sxsrf=ALeKk001Dswna5zYNlE6EYmhermQFyC_vQ:1593550197125&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=h9x_JKebtSTrRM%2CfUtso2oGsM7KIM%2C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kS4IQ8ZoZwhZb_KD1bSq_1MEjihAA&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjhnrmLtarqAhUSEqwKHUpDDz0Q9QEwAXoECAoQJw&biw=1155&bih=719&dpr=2#imgrc=h9x_JKebtSTrRM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
