AV File Formats and Support

AVAnnotate references audio and video files hosted on other servers directly via URLs or through IIIF manifests. The suggested means for making files available in these ways is to upload files to the Internet Archive.

Note:

-Only File Paths, HLS, and DASH references will generate a valid IIIF manifest.
-The player does not support files shared through links that reference Box, Dropbox, or Google Drive.
