Apple IOS Issue: Non-Playable Audios [FIXED!]
Added 2021-06-10 03:00:45 +0000 UTCHey everyone,
Unfortunately, to my understanding, IOS devices will not play audios (or videos) that have been uploaded directly to Patreon that contain licensed music and/or sound effects (which include those licensed under the Standard YouTube License). However, other devices will play these audios just fine. Typically, my audios contain licensed music and sound effects that are free to use for commercial purposes if proper credit is given (which is always the case). But now, I’m unable to upload content with licensed sound without possibly alienating those of you who listen on IOS devices. Honestly, I may have this all wrong (LOL), but this is what I gathered from this post. There are other options, such as using YouTube or Vimeo, but as of right now, I am choosing not to pursue those options due to privacy concerns. Therefore, I’ve decided to ask you all what you prefer: To IOS users, would you prefer that I post Patreon-exclusive audios that do NOT contain licensed music or sound effects so that you may listen on your IOS devices? Or would you be okay with switching devices to listen to my content? I’m willing to do the former but the latter may allow for a more immersive listening experience.
EDIT: I was so, so, so, SO wrong. This wasn't the problem at all! The problem is a little hard to explain, but I have successfully identified the solution. It was all my fault honestly! The issue was related to my audio file extensions. Anyway, this means that I can continue to post roleplays with licensed music and sound effects (those of which I am legally allowed to use with proper attribution). Thank you to those who voted nonetheless! Fortunately, there's no need to choose anymore.
