Using MediaElement.JS in WordPress

816 views Asked by At

So I have what I think for most of you, is a stupid question, but I can not figure this out by myself. I'm building a WordPress theme for a friend of mine, and I need to build a custom looking audio player. I think, that MediaElementJS is a good place to start.

In my understanding, MediaElementJS is part of the core features of WordPress, and I have added it in my functions.php with the code

    function my_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_script( 'wp-mediaelement' );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts' );

But still, the normal browser player is showing in all the browsers. I have read a lot of topics here on StackOverflow and over the internet, but I just can't figure out where it goes wrong. Since it's part of the WordPress core I don't need to install the plugin that is also available right? Also I tried installing it, but it then also shows it as the basic browser player.

Is their someone here, that can teach me how I implement MediaElementJS properly in my theme? I think I can figure out the styling part out, but the installing of the MEJS, I don't know where to begin nor look for good instructions that are really going to help. It seems inpossible to find a good tutorial on this :(

I really hope someone can help me out with this. Thanks in advance!

(since I'm working locally I don't have my site running somewhere, if needed, I can host it somewhere!)
