@Oliver can you explain to me how to create such bandcamp links? and how does this bandcamp addon in zap works?

Oliver

@RockyIII It‘s just a hubzilla-link, no addon.

@Oliver you have a bandcamp acount to get this link?

Oliver

@RockyIII It's the usual artist/album link, nothing special

@RockyIII AFAIK, Bandcamp is just a place for bands to publish their stuff for free, for fair pay (donate after you like it), or a fair price (of which they get most of the money, other than with the big players). As long as a band has a publishing account there, they can publish albums with covers, freely available in the web.

So all you have to do is copy the link to the album, and copy the link to the album cover to embedd it as a linked picture in your post, I guess.

Might be that the std_embeds addon does not play well with bandcamp...

RockyIII

Sat, 13 Feb 2021 22:57:36 +0100

@Mario Vavti this std_embeds addon does not work on my hub at all - what could i try?

std_embeds does not include bandcamp because as far as I'm aware bandcamp doesn't offer oembed. I couldn't find the relevant tags in the HTML, so why it is showing up with an embed tag may be a hubzilla bug I haven't seen before - or maybe it's a setting you can enable in bandcamp. I don't know. I don't use that software.

There has been some additional work done in Zap and friends to support a bit more of the available opengraph tags and also to provide visual representations for all kinds of different link objects. A lot of this work can be backported.

Also worthy of note is that bandcamp now provides some information with json-ld. Most of this looks like property values and may or may not overlap opengraph and twitter tags. I'm just mentioning it. You can either get excited about this and investigate further or just let it slide by if you have no idea what I'm talking about or don't care about how any of this code actually works.

Thanks @Mike Macgirvin I wonder if my server is missing few files in order to work well with std_embeds. What is needed for std_embeds/opengraph? I´m on armbian https://www.armbian.com/

What does the zap bandcamp addon do?

If you know of somebody with a zap bandcamp addon you should probably ask them. I'm not personally aware of it and no such addon has been submitted to the zap addons repository.

In Zap you shouldn't need to do anything except dragondrop the link on the post editor.

If it comes up with an embed tag (which it shouldn't to my knowledge), use the link tool to add the link to the post and untick "load remote media players".

This is because *if* a remote media player is offered it will likely be full of questionable javascript and would need to be added by the site admin to the list of websites allowed to run code on your site in order for said remote media player to work correctly.

The std_embeds addon (if installed) adds vimeo, youtube (google), and soundcloud to the list of websites that can run code on your site. Nothing more. It's up to your site admin whether or not this is a good idea.

Ok sorry, I found the bandcamp addon on zap.dog

using the link-button from the editor, what else is needed to make out of https://alostmen.bandcamp.com/album/kologo

something like this:

It is not the std_embeds addon - I just checked.

"using the link-button from the editor, what else is needed"

Nothing.

but out of some reasons it does not work like that on my hub, and i was wondering if some dependencies on my server may are missing. no idea why is does not work...

Sounds like a bug report is in order.

it does work on other HZ hubs - that is why i thought it must have to do with my server configuration
