what do you mean? Obsidian Mobile doesn’t play the webm recorded on Obsidian Desktop.
I recorded audio using my mac obsidian, but I can’t play the audio on my ios obsidian.
Because mac record the audio using the webm format, while ios can’t play the webm format audio.
Thanks~
It should be able to play within obsidian mobile.
What’s your iOS version exactly? what’s your iphone model exactly?
I believe webm/audio was added in iOS 15
iphone13, 15.5~
you can try to see if there is anything in experimental webkit features
Settings –> Safari –> Advanced –> Experimental Features
There’s nothing we can do other wait for apple to implement/enable this format.
I was having the same issue, but found a workaround:
(1) I could not play webm files on my iPad or iPhone.
(2) I could not find the experimental webkit features, but I did read articles that mentioned them. (It might be because I’m not on a developer beta.)
(3) I downloaded PlayerXtreme, and it can play the files. I can open the webm files from Obsidian (or the Files app) in PlayerXtreme. You can rewind, pause, and fast-forward the playback of the audio. You can navigate away from the app and have the audio play in the background. Closing the screen doesn’t interrupt playback. Unfortunately, PlayerXtreme doesn’t support split-screen (but you can open Obsidian in slide-over), and you cannot rewind/fast-forward from the playback menu when you swipe down on the upper-right on the iPad or when the screen is turned off (but you can pause playback).
Still a problem. Can’t play recordings from Mac on iOS.
