A lot more progress on my npf friendly blog playlist thing

I'm sure other similar ones are out there (or old ones being updated hopefully) but it's nice to do a little react project for fun again.

Hey, I'm wondering if you'd be able to give me some advice. On my theme, the newer audio posts just show up as default mp3 modules, without all the css that would normally apply to an audio post. Tumblr seems to have changed its coding for new audio posts, and I'm not exactly sure how to get my old theme to apply to new posts. The old posts were classified as 'audio posts' in the code, but the new code seems to have removed that, so it only has the audio controls, not the player code.

Hey, sorry for the long delay in answering, I haven't been keeping close tabs on it. But if you still need a hand here (or for anyone else who's also wondering about this!) here's a run-through of what's up here.

The TL;DR: is summarised a bit obliquely in Tumblr's custom theme documentation (which I'm surprised they even update still, there's a lot that goes unmentioned here that you can really only find by pulling down a complete theme from the Tumblr theme selections and inspecting the code, I've found):

Basically, pretty much any new audio post is going to be NPF-style, so any styles that use any of the Audio-post specific functionality will not be used. Instead, as you can see below, Tumblr renders NPF posts as a text post (note the <article class="post text" in the markup below).

What you can also see here is that NPF audio posts can contain multiple audio players, and will have them laid out with the following structure:

<figure class="tmblr-full"> <audio controls="controls"> <source src="AUDIO_URL_HERE" type="media/type"> </audio> </figure>

The styling of these audio players is pretty much exclusively done by your browser, and is pretty variable between browsers, but always fairly simple and bare-bones. Tumblr itself has very little control over them, even.

The only real way to "style" these things is to effectively hide them completely with something like display: none; in CSS, and then use JavaScript to control them with some additional buttons or something that you embed around them. Because you don't have a lot of granular control of the audio players or even have much indication of where they'll be embedded with how NPF works currently, I'm pretty sure you'll essentially have to cobble together some JS to detect these elements and fill in some more traditional HTML buttons and whatnot around them, and rig them up to events that control the actual (hidden) audio element.

I'm somewhat hopeful that eventually @staff will update their custom theme framework to properly work with NPF posts, because the only proper solution in my mind is that the old {block:Audio} and other posts type placeholders are "brought back" in some form or another to allow us to define what, exactly an NPF post "block" should look like for each of the NPF content types.

Till then, any possible solution will have to be hacky as all heck, I'm afraid.

Hello, Amanda. You don't know me, but I know you. I want to play a game. Here's what happens if you lose. The device you are wearing is hooked into your upper and lower jaw. When the timer in the back goes off, your mouth will be permanently ripped open. Think of it like a reverse bear trap. Here, I'll show you. There is only one key to open the device. It's in the stomach of your dead cell mate. Look around, Amanda. Know that I'm not lying. You better hurry up. Live or die. Make your choice.

#ok to reblog #audio posts #the 'make your choice' at the end is fucking chilling. #saw trap #jigsaw #tiktok tts lady

Well.  That's interesting.

Tumblr now uses the Shiny New Post Editor for all Quote, Link, Chat, Audio, and Video posts regardless of your settings.

Upswing of this?  Now, I can actually post an entire week of music in one go. Downswing?  Oh… everything else.

I will be posting my audio files within text posts until or unless Tumblr fixes their Audio Post player (the one that shows up when you make specifically Audio Posts). The current one only plays on half the personal Tumblr pages I visit and I can't pause a file once it's started. The only interactable part of it is a clickable Javascript button labeled Listen.

Until Tumblr changes that to the lovely new player for embedded audio files when you put them in reblogs or just in the middle of your own text posts, I'm gonna share my audio that way because at least then I can pause or unpause or mute it if I wanna.

Ugh what is this ugly-ass music player format Please, someone tell me how to fix this!

None of my old music posts are broken... example

Okay I'm still stumped, how do I make audio posts play again? Is there an update I missed? Something in settings?

So now I've gotta turn on Tumblr notifications to listen to audio posts huh. Getting real tired of shit like this man

#I have notifications off for a reason #They're annoying! #And I don't need to come running to the app whenever someone likes my reblog or whatever I like checking manually #Woof #Audio posts #Tumblr

Tumblr questions: 1. is there a reason people write the alt text in the post and not in the image? idk if I missed some weird tumblr issue. There must be some difference with the Legacy editor too. 2. what Tumblr theme makes my Legacy audio posts appear like they do in the dash? All the info is removed from sight unless you are about to reblog it. 3. If you link to another tumblr post/account will it also not appear in the tags you've added? Like in the alt text or post I link to glontch.tumblr and then it won't appear in the #glontch hashtag?

I was thinking earlier that here on tumblr, for a few years a couple years ago, I actually had a little bit of a community feel around pianowrimo, interacted with other composers, and found a bit of an audience for my music!  the only place, really, this happened since the distant past days of our own websites and guestbooks and whatnot, and a bit of vgmix forums but I was too shy to put myself out there much.

Various things happened with tumblr -- it definitely just got quieter, a lot of people moved on a bit, including me, I basically stopped posting much on my main blog...  But in terms of music and this blog, yeah, I would still I think be posting more regularly if it weren’t for the audio post issue* completely discouraging me :(  This was kind of the only place I had to post doodles - in AUDIO FORMAT - where the odd person might listen, too.  I do have my blog on my website, but honestly the fact that no one at all goes there (which is fine and almost part of the point since I don’t heavily promote it - but means it’s not really an analog to what I had going here) again disincentivises me from posting as much.

* The audio post issue: externally hosted audio displays as an ugly link on the dashboard on computer.  It has been like this for months/a year now I think.  I have raised it with support a couple times, as have other people, been told “you’ve found a bug, we’ll work on it!”, to no avail.  Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, have ALWAYS been completely unfriendly to audio.  Soundcloud is... home to a million bots as far as I can tell, and also has upload limits, and also isn’t a microblogging site in any way.  Tumblr USED to be like the one place.  This seems such a small thing, can’t it be fixed??

(-- next question, of course -- i mean does anyone other than me habitually use tumblr on the web version, and how does it look on the app itself?  oddly enough Safari mobile is fine.  But, like, come on.  A web version of tumblr exists.  It USED TO HAVE this functionality and now doesn’t.  ...and, yes, it’s an issue specific to externally hosted audio, maybe they don’t want you do that, but, again.... there is still the option to do it!  in fact there isn’t an option to upload audio on the new version at all!  surely this is GOOD for tumblr right, less to host?)

Hey all 👋 😁

So updates to my reading of the Sakura's Story Novel will start again soon on YouTube.

Untill then, you can give my Patreon a look if you like!

For a dollar (or more if you like), you can get the MP4 download files for all my readings. Why? Because I appreciate your support a lot and I love making these!
