Adding external media files in webpage #516

Description

@alphapats

Describe the problem
I want to add audio file which is not part of 'web' folder in my eel project. I am giving absolute path link as source in my html. But I am getting error in console "Resource not found"

Code snippet(s)

import eel

...
<html>
<audio controls=""> <source src="/home/user/workspace/voice/test.wav" type="audio/wav">   Your browser does not support the   <code>audio</code> element. </audio>
</html>

Console error: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost:8000/home/user/workspace/voice/test.wav

Note. When I load my html directly in browser, its working
Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Ubuntu
  • BrowserChrome
  • Version [e.g. 22]

How can I embed external media in my html while using eel? I can't change the path or copy audio files to my eel web folder as files are being dynamically generated by other code and I am using eel to view/play them.
