SkipSeek Radio

Àpèjúwe

SkipSeek Radio is a clean, mobile-first audio player for WordPress sites that stream internet radio.

• Drop-in shortcode [skipseek_radio stream="https://..."] or a Gutenberg block.
• Album-art tap-to-play, no fiddly play button.
• Flat-dark and flat-light layouts, responsive from desktop to phone.
• Live now-playing metadata polling for AzuraCast (and any other server that exposes a now-playing JSON endpoint).
• AzuraCast auto-discovery — paste any AzuraCast public-page URL and the plugin fetches the list of every public station on that server, so listeners can switch between channels in-place without a page reload.
• No third-party tracking, no analytics, no outbound network calls beyond whatÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s strictly required to render the player.

External services

This plugin makes one outbound HTTP request, and only when an AzuraCast URL has been entered as the Stream URL:

AzuraCast station discovery

• What it is: Public list of stations on the same AzuraCast server, used to populate the playerÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s rotation pool so listeners can switch channels.
• What is sent: A GET request to https://your-azuracast-host/api/stations — only the AzuraCast host you yourself entered. No personal data, no analytics.
• When it is sent: Once per cache window (1 hour) when a post containing the player loads. Result is stored in a WP transient between requests.
• Endpoint: The AzuraCast server you configured in Stream URL. This plugin does NOT call any SkipSeek server.
• Provider: Your AzuraCast host. AzuraCast is open-source software. AzuraCast website.

If you use a plain Icecast/Shoutcast stream URL (no AzuraCast), the plugin makes no outbound HTTP requests at all.

Optional: Now Playing API

If you configure a Now Playing API URL (separate from the Stream URL), the player polls it every 15 seconds for live track metadata. This request is made by the visitorÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s browser, not by WordPress. The Now Playing API is whatever URL you configured — typically your own AzuraCast or compatible server.
