Radio Player Page provides dedicated, standalone player pages for your radio broadcasts on WordPress. It lets you create a full weekly radio schedule, manage your broadcasts, and present everything on pages designed for reliable playback without theme conflicts.
<h4>The Power of Standalone Player Pages</h4>
<ul>
<li>Standalone Player Pages – Each station lives on its own independent HTML page, completely bypassing your WordPress theme. This ensures zero theme conflicts, optimal performance, and one clear URL per station.</li>
<li>Full Radio Scheduling – Create a weekly lineup with named radio shows and optional logos. The player intelligently displays the current and next radio show, with timezone-aware calculations and overlap prevention.</li>
<li>Universal Stream Compatibility – Works seamlessly with Icecast, Shoutcast, HLS (.m3u8), DASH (.mpd), and MP3 streams. Automatic protocol detection with native iOS Safari support for HLS.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Broadcast Management</h4>
<ul>
<li>Multi-Station Control – Manage multiple independent stations from a single WordPress installation, each with its own stream, schedule, and branding.</li>
<li>Broadcast Timezone Clock – Keep a global audience informed. When your station’s timezone differs from the listener’s, a discreet clock shows the station’s local time and the offset.</li>
<li>Media Session API – Professional integration with device lock screens and media controls, displaying station art and info.</li>
<li>Radio Schedule Block – Add a Gutenberg block (Block Editor) to any post or page to display the full weekly radio schedule for a selected station. Design is controlled by the editor and theme (Block Supports, theme.json).</li>
<li>Radio Shows List Block – Add a Gutenberg block to list all radio shows for a selected station, with optional image, extended description, and broadcast schedule.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Listener Experience</h4>
<ul>
<li>Informed Listening – The player clearly shows what’s on air now and what’s coming next.</li>
<li>Visual Customization – Choose from 8 color themes and 4 real-time audio visualizers (powered by Web Audio API) to match your station’s brand.</li>
<li>Station Branding – Upload custom background images and logos for each station.</li>
<li>Convenience Features – Sleep timer, responsive design, and social sharing meta tags for rich link previews.</li>
</ul>
Built for Modern Web Performance 
The player is a self-contained application built with React 19, TypeScript, and Vite, ensuring a fast, accessible, and maintainable experience. It uses manifest-based asset loading for seamless updates.
