How to embed WAV and MP4 files?

[beetrootpaul]

I just learnt that there are embed and link functions available in Dataview beta and that they does nearly same I do in my custom code: it takes my thumbnail: "some file from same directory.png" from YAML front matter and converts it into an actual image inside Dataview table. Which is great! Apparently, I needs thumbnails for more than static (PNG) or animated (GIF) images. I would love to have MP4 and WAV thumbnails too. But I see that dv.func.embed(dv.func.link(page.thumbnail)) does render as text for those files (while working as expected for PNGs and GIFs).

My use case for a better context: I create digital art and music and I catalogue my creations on a file system, enhanced by Obsidian+Dataview. I use Dataview to show a single list of all my creations with some high-level metadata (in form of icons) and, most importantly, thumbnails to easily recognise what is what.

Can you check out the obsidian gallery plugin? It seems like a better fit IMO.
