Option to embed audio player only

[rasos]

Describe the problem to be solved

Some communities on our PeerTube instance use their channel to publish Podcasts (audio only, no video). They would like to see an option to embed an episode in their Wordpress blog.

Describe the solution you would like

When offering to share the video with an embed link or snippet, there should be an option Audio only. This would embed a player restricted to show an audio play button only and without a frame for a full video.

I am aware of the ongoing discussion for Podcasts RSS feeds #3761 and that Funkwhale might be a more suitable Fediverse platform for Podcasts. However, our users really like PeerTube and might not want to onboard yet on another platform.

Hello,

Is this issue is about creating another peertube player dedicated to audio content like the soundcloud audio player? Or is it about providing the same player set to the "audio" resolution?

A player optimized for audio (and e.g. visualizing the waveform with an option if that should be embedded like here https://cba.fro.at/574697) would be great.

Restricting to audio resolution only and offering a smaller version of the current player to embed audio only would work as well (for now). An ideal audio only embed player size seems to be width="180" height="100".

The suggested workaround using an width="180" height="100" iframe doesn't work so nice with e.g. the settings menu, the context menu (right click in the player), displaying the title, etc. (see screen shots below). Maybe a dedicated audio player would be better?

Maybe a dedicated audio player would be better?

Unfortunately it would be too much work. We can however easily hide some other icons for players that have a very small width.

why not create a new repo to help developers join and work on it?
