Obsidian media embedder

This is an extension for Python-Markdown which allows you to embed audio or video files as easily as images by simply writing:

![my song](assets/music/my-last-song.mp3)
![my video](assets/video/interview.webm)

Additionally, this plugins allows to specify an image size the Obsidian way, e.g.:

![400x300](assets/images/photo.jpg)  <!-- width and height -->
![400](assets/images/photo.jpg)      <!-- only width -->

Supported formats are:

• Images: avif, bmp, gif, jpeg, jpg, png, svg, webp.
• Audio: mp3, wav, m4a, ogg, 3gp, flac.
• Video: mp4, webm, ogv, mov, mkv.
• Other: md, pdf not yet.

And even more than that! It embeds youtube videos too!

Usage

Simply enable the extension like this:

import markdown

md = markdown.Markdown(extensions=['obsidian_media'])
print(md.convertFile('page.md'))

MkDocs

It can be used with MkDocs as following:

# mkdocs.yml
markdown_extensions:
  - obsidian_media_mkdocs

For the best results, I recommend using it together with my mkdocs-obsidian-bridge. This would allow you to simply write:

![[assets/audio/my favourite song.mp3]]
![[assets/video/birthday party.mov]]

![[images/photo.jpg|400x300]]
![[images/photo.jpg|200]]

Credits

This extension is heavily inspired by orobardet/pymarkdown-video and motivated by @pipe-organ in GooRoo/mkdocs-obsidian-bridge#17.
