What’s new in Hero - Shoutcast and Icecast Radio Player With History - Elementor Widget 2.7.0

Version 2.7.0 · May 2, 2023 Latest

What it does

Putting a live radio stream on a WordPress site usually means pasting in embed code from your streaming host and accepting whatever player comes with it. This plugin gives you a radio player as an Elementor widget instead, so you place it on a page like any other element and adjust its look from the Elementor editor. It works with Shoutcast, Icecast, AzuraCast and RadioJar streams, which covers many of the services internet radio stations already use.

While a stream plays, the player fetches the current song title and artist and displays them next to an artist photo, so visitors can see what they are hearing. The layout is responsive, with an option to switch that behavior off if your design needs a fixed size, and it works on iOS and Android devices. MP3 streams are the main format, with AAC playback available in browsers that support it. Responsive PSD design files are included for anyone who wants to rework the visual style.

Features

Multiple streaming platforms

Now playing song and artist

The player automatically pulls the current track title and artist name and shows an artist image while the stream plays.

Elementor widget

The player adapts to different screen sizes by default, and a setting lets you disable responsiveness when your page layout calls for it.

MP3 and AAC streams

MP3 streams are supported as the main format, and AAC streams can play in browsers that are compatible with that format.
