Summary

Phase out the P4 Custom Media block and replace it with the Wordpress native Audio/Video blocks. The only additional feature that our block offers is the option to set a poster image for videos.

Requirements

• Enable Audio and Video Gutenberg blocks on all post types.
• Check if the media_url is a valid url:
  • If not, then assume it's a Youtube video id and use the Embed block.
  • If it's a url, check if it has an extension or not:
    • If not, use the embed block as it's from a media service (eg. Youtube, Vimeo, Soundcloud, etc.)
    • It it has an extension, conditionally use Audio or Video block based on the files extension (eg. mp3, wav, ogg: audio, mp4: video).
