Knowledge Objects

Knowledge Objects renders semantic objects stored in Markdown as interactive components in Obsidian.

The initial release supports local music objects.

Features

• Render music fenced code blocks as audio players
• Display title, artist, cover image, progress, and duration
• Support local audio and image files stored inside the vault
• Work on desktop and mobile
• Preserve readable Markdown when the plugin is unavailable

Usage

Create a fenced music block:

title: Rising Force
artist: Yngwie Malmsteen
src: Assets/music/rising-force.mp3
cover: Assets/images/rising-force.jpg

Both src and cover use vault-relative paths.

Requirements

• Audio files must be stored inside the Obsidian vault
• Cover images must be stored inside the Obsidian vault
• Paths must use vault-relative paths rather than operating-system absolute paths

Installation

Once the plugin is available in the Obsidian Community Plugins directory:

1. Open Obsidian Settings.
2. Open Community plugins.
3. Search for Knowledge Objects.
4. Install and enable it.

Roadmap
