Now playing for AzuraCast

Description

This plugin adds a widget to your WordPress sidebar showing the currently played song of a AzuraCast station by their public API. You’re able to configure whether to display the album, title, artist, artwork and player links.
Important: By version 2.0.0 you need to use the station shortcode instead of station id. It’s necessary because AzuraCast’s Live Now-Playing Api won’t support station ids. You need to enable websocket support in your AzuraCast Instance.

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin files to your WordPress plugins directory, e.g. ‘/wp-content/plugins/plugins/’.
  2. Enable the plugin pressing ‘Activate’.
  3. Add and configure the widget under ‘Appearance’ -> ‘Widgets’.

Handy plugin for displaying currently playing data from Azuracast. It would be great if this could be improved to support the livesocket api, so that information was updated in real-time, using nchan subscriber module. As it currently stands, the information displayed is often lagging the currently playing track, because the shortest refresh time is 60 seconds. I’d be happy to donate to support the development of this plugin.
