Archive.org supports folders that contain multiple audio files (probably other kinds of files, I guess). When I paste the URL in Discourse, it gives me an audio player for just the first file. There doesn’t seem to be any simple way on archive.org to get individual URLs for the various files. So it’d be lovely if Discourse would add via onebox the whole set of audio players. Any ideas?
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around implementing onebox support for all datatypes on archive.org. sujato initially requested a feature to display multiple audio players for archive.org folders containing multiple audio files. riking suggested that a custom onebox engine is needed to handle various content types, including articles, audio, collections, and more. They provided useful notes on how to embed certain types of content and access metadata. Later, nicopace reported that archive.org video URLs are now embedded as iframe videos, although it’s unclear who or what caused the update.

I think that archive.org needs its own onebox engine to handle all the types of content.
Would need an embedding behavior for all of the data types:
article audio collection data education etree image movies software texts web
I think we need help from someone more familiar with their stuff - e.g. what is an etree?
Useful notes:
- For the embeddable types, you can change /details/ to /embed/ and iframe that. But if the type isn’t embeddable, you get a blank screen of HTML.
- Change /details/ to /metadata/ to get a JSON description of the item.
- Not all ‘mediatype=software’ has an /embed/ view. Counterexample: Chessmaster 10th Edition Demo : Ubi Soft Entertainment Software : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

Volevi approfondire qui @nicopace?
Grazie @codinghorror,
non sono sicuro di cosa sia successo, ma dal momento in cui l’ho pubblicato fino ad ora è accaduto qualcosa e ora gli URL dei video di archive.org sono incorporati come video iframe… (dato che manteniamo la mia istanza Discourse tra due persone, qualcun altro potrebbe averla aggiornata, oppure onebox si affida a servizi esterni).
Comunque, funziona! Grazie!
