I've been working on a new version of the Javascript version from VGMPlay. I'm focussing on very easy integration in a site. Right now I've gotten in to the point the only thing required is one script line at then end of the HTML file. When doing that the class will be initiated and will behave pretty aggressive. It will scan for 'a' HTML tags and then check the href for the word .zip. If those are available the zip files will be extracted in a Javascript Emscripten in-memory file system. This expects a vgmrips.net compatible .zip file. If actual vgm/vgz files are in the filesystem the HTML from the page will be modified to include a player with a list of the tracks with the logo from the zip file. Then one can play the tracks. So basically this can be added to any page that offers vgm downloads and right away the tracks can be listened. It will cause some data traffic, since the actual playing happens locally the player and music data need to be downloaded. The player will be cached however.
Everything above works fine but needs polishing. But before I do that I would like to know if it's an option to include the player in the vgm download section on msx.org. Then I'll focus on making it look nice, if not I'll take my own approach for my own site. Of course I'm open for suggestions, like where to show the player. One option would be to put a div over the MSX Music player on the right. I could also put it between the link and the remark section.
). Haven't implemented zip extraction, but can do that using a backend PHP script (unburdens the front-end (CPU usage & library size), extracted zips can be cached server side). JS parses the m3u file.
