The Local Media Embedder plugin for Obsidian allows you to easily embed local media files (videos, audio) into your notes. This plugin enhances your note-taking experience by enabling seamless integration of multimedia content.

Features

  • Supports various media formats (e.g., MP4, MP3).
  • Simple and intuitive interface for embedding media.
  • Lightweight and efficient, ensuring smooth performance.

Change Log

0.1.4

  • multiple videos: Supports embedding multiple videos in a note as grid or list .
  • multiple audios: Supports embedding multiple audios in a note.
  • picture-in-picture: Supports picture-in-picture mode for videos.

0.1.3

  • External Files Access: Allows using files located outside the vault, with no need to copy them into the vault.
  • Enhanced Player: Integrated Better Video Player for a superior media experience.
  • YouTube Support: Supports playing YouTube videos directly.
  • Note Timestamps: Support adding timestamps to your notes when clicking seek in the video (for better video-synchronized notes).

Installation

The plugin is available in the Obsidian Community Plugins gallery. You can install it directly within Obsidian.

Usage :

  • Easy Embedding: Select a file path in your note, right-click, and choose "Embed selected media path" to automatically generate the media code block.
  • Interactive Timestamps: While a video is playing, right-click the player and select "Add timestamp". This inserts a timestamp into your note that, when clicked, will automatically seek the video to that exact moment.

Example Code Block:

One video /audio

 ```media
path: F:\Tutorial Videos\AI\deep learning\01.But what is a neural network- - Chapter 1, Deep learning.mp4
type: video
width: 640
height: 360
```

Multiple Videos / audios

```media
path: C:\Users\username\Music\* <---- you path (ends with *)
filter: .*(music).*\.mp3 <-- filters you files
type: audio
view: grid
```
```media
path: C:\Users\Username\Desktop\Video\*               <---- you path 
filter: .*(Keyword).*\.mp4 <-- filters you files
type: video
width: 500
height: 300
