Feature Request: cache frequently-used sounds #3

Closed SongshGeo closed 5 months ago

SongshGeo commented 5 months ago

Hi there. Obsidian-soundscapes is my daily used plugin now. Thanks for your efforts on this.

However, I travel a lot and need help to use the soundscape when doing offline jobs during a trip. It would be much better when it can cache frequently used sounds automatically.

Best wishes.

Thank you for opening an issue! :) Love hearing that you're enjoying the plugin!

So, the plugin currently uses YouTube to play the soundscapes. Unfortunately, YouTube doesn't allow for offline play without a YouTube Premium plan and even with that, it's APIs don't allow for me to take advantage of that. They only support offline play through their official apps.

I looked around to see if there was any workarounds but everything I found would be against their terms, and therefore illegal.

So at this point in time, this is unfortunately not possible. :(

Thanks for the efforts. I'll keep an eye on any available source, too. :)

@SongshGeo Currently working on prototyping for local music files.

It's not quite the same as using the soundscapes in offline mode buuuut you will be able to use your local music files offline.

Just a heads up incase you're interested in that when that drops. :)

Sounds Great. I listened to local sounds within an addon page in the side pane. However, it turns off whenever I collapse the side pane. That's why I turned to soundspace. It would be great that soundspace supports local sources.
