Security for plug-ins

Hi All,

I published the audio-snippet-plugin a while ago and after just changing my computer I noticed when I reinstalled the plug-in from the marketplace it doesn’t work.

I don’t know if it ever did, I thought I tested it. But I may have not as I assumed a local plugin would operate the same as a marketplace plug-in.

This is not the case. There is a lot more sandboxing around a plugin from the marketplace.

If I try and access the dom (I need access to the media player above the current block) - you can’t

If I try and create my own audio element - this doesn’t have access to the assets folder.

I can’t find a way of fixing my plugin with the current framework.

Should plugins have something like permissions - ie allow access to asstets, to the dom, etc - finer grained permissions than just disallow all?
