  3. Embeds should also load dynamically (ie: on scroll when they show into view) to help with performance on mobile and such. Linking using the URL bbcode will not embed.

    I am seriously awestruck that there are this many auto-embeds. Pretty astounding. Just wow.

  8. I need to look at their code and see. Do they allow embedding of anything beside Connect stuff yet?

    I know a little something you won't ever know Prestigious

    How about streamable?

    Hm, not sure actually. Maybe I've only seen Connect.

    Listen to my EP: terrainofficial .bandcamp.com Prestigious

    (of course i put the asterisk to interrupt the code)

    so, instead of doing this by album_id, is it possible to change the embedding process to just include the band's actual URL?

    for example, terrainofficial.bandcamp.com, you would just be able to type in [ME*DIA=bandcamp]terrainofficial[/bandcamp]. That would make it a lot easier.

    album_id used to be an easy way to do it, but now bandcamp has changed the syntax of their URLs or something and it's hard to find an album_id for a lot of artists.
     
  12. Just use the regular link and it will auto embed:

    https://terrainofficial.bandcamp.com/album/comatose-dreams
