Audio XBlock

A simple XBlock for playing audio files using MediaElement.js

Features

• Supports multiple sources. (We will interpret the audio MIME type based on the file extension, which lets the browser more easily figure out which source it supports)
• Supports displaying a link to download the audio file. (Configurable per XBlock instance, will use first source in sources list)

Installation

Install the requirements into the Python virtual environment of your edx-platform installation by running the following command from the root folder:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Enabling in Studio

You can enable the XBlock in Studio through Advanced Settings.

1. From the main page of a specific course, navigate to Settings -> Advanced Settings from the top menu.
2. Check for the advanced_modules policy key, and add "audio" to the policy value list.
3. Click the "Save changes" button.
