Enable "play_button" to play the audio from internet for anki 2.1.x

[ecator]

I have used the "Replay buttons on card" to play the audio from internet in anki 2.0.x, it likes this

py.link("ankiplayhttp......")

and in the anki 2.1.x , it changes to

pycmd("ankiplayhttp......")

but it couldn't work, so I fixed it. Thepycmd("ankiplayhttp://...") and pycmd("ankiplayhttps://...") can be used in JS now, I tested in macOS10.14 and win7 using anki 2.1.5.

Thanks.

Hi. I don't know whether this really is something for general release. For example, why is the ".mp3" added at the end? That seems to be somewhat specific.

Sorry,I can't make sure it's general, I test some sites and it works both in mac and win7. You can add a note type in anki like this

The downloading operation as ".mp3" is only limited to windows. It seems to use mplayer in win and use mpv in mac or linux.

PS. I have asked the official whether anki2.1 can support the "audio" html element to play audio online, and the answer is no. 😭

Thanks for the explanation, but i'm more of a fan of the "download once and keep the file" approach. See my audio downloader add-on. It even has code to try and get data from Collins Dictionary. Admittedly not for Anki 2.1. So, have fun with your addition, but i don't want to add this to my version of the add-on.
