[Solved] Audio files in Storage - Threads - Appwrite

What is the best way to play audio files that have been put into bucket?

TL;DR

User is asking for help with playing audio files that have been put into a storage bucket using Appwrite. They are experiencing difficulties with the format and the media player, and the URL of the audio file is displaying as text. A possible solution is suggested by removing the "&mode=admin" from the URL. It is also recommended to grab the URL of the view file endpoint and put it into a media player for the best way to play audio files.

I'd say grab the url of the view file endpoint and put that into your media player

When I try to get that url its just text when it runs

Yup, remove the &mode=admin

What media player should I use as when I try this I get this error DOMException: The element has no supported sources.

What's the mime/file type when you look at the file in Appwrite?

audio/x-wav

Hmm we don't support that format: https://github.com/appwrite/appwrite/blob/master/app/config/storage/mimes.php

Awesome thank you will just convert everything!

Audio/wav makes sense to add. I'm not sure what x-wav is
