How to add and view audio files?

ghmerrill

I've just installed Zenphoto, created an album with subalbums, and uploaded several images to one of the subalbums. Everything there is working is great.

But I can't for the life of me figure out how to get audio files (m4a) to display and be accessible. I see that Zenphoto is supposed to support these, but I can't find any instructions for making this work either in the manual or in the forum. Maybe I'm just not lookingin the right place.

At this point I've uploaded (via FTP) a bunch of m4a files into the album directory where the images are. But none of the audio files appear in the web display of that directory. Can I get some hints on what to do here?

Thanks for any insight.

Okay, I've managed to get this working by adding a couple of appropriate plugins. However, the thumbnails for all of the mp4 files are identical. I'm perfectly happy with the graphic being identical, but each graphic has a bottom line that says simply ".mp4a". I've got the mouseover effect working so the title of the recording can be seen in that way, but is there a way to have the appropriate text label (say the filename) displayed on or below the thumbnail. I'm thinking maybe not without a lot of work. But worth asking.

Thanks.

You can also show the image title but you will have to modify the theme used. The basics:
