How to play a Shoutcast streaming in WordPress audio player

Wonder Audio Player

Question:

I wonder how could I play a Shoutcast audio streaming with Wonder Audio Player? I tried to enter the address of the .pls file to the plugin, but it's not playing.

Answer:

For full instructions of how to create a Shoutcast live streaming player in WordPress, please view the tutorial: How to create a WordPress Shoutcast player.

The .pls file is actually a text file that contains a link or links to the audio streaming. You need to open the .pls file with a text editor, find the streaming URL and directly enter the streaming URL to the plugin.

If the streaming URL has a format like:

http://IP:port

You need to add a suffix ;&type=mp3 and enter the following URL to the plugin:

http://IP:port/;&type=mp3

Then in the plugin, step 1, Add Audio dialog, you can enter the streaming URL to the Mp3 URL box and check the option "This is a live streaming".

WonderPlugin Audio Player JavaScript API

Last updated on

This post will show you how to use JavaScript to control the WonderPlugin Audio Player.

The following JavaScript will play the audio:

jQuery("#wonderpluginaudio-1").data("object").playAudio();

In the above code, 1 is the id of the audio player. wonderpluginaudio-1 is the id of the created player DIV.

If the id of your player is 2, you need to change the id value accordingly:

jQuery("#wonderpluginaudio-2").data("object").playAudio();

To pause the player:

jQuery("#wonderpluginaudio-1").data("object").pauseAudio();

The function audioRun(index, autoplay) will jump to the specified audio. The index starts from 0. For example, the following function will jump to the second audio and play it:

jQuery("#wonderpluginaudio-1").data("object").audioRun(1, true);

To goto the previous audio:

jQuery("#wonderpluginaudio-1").data("object").audioRun(-2, true);

To goto the next audio:

jQuery("#wonderpluginaudio-1").data("object").audioRun(-1, true);

The following four text links will play, pause, jump to the second audio and jump to the fifth audio in the following player:

<a onclick='jQuery("#wonderpluginaudio-1").data("object").playAudio();'>Click to Play</a>

<a onclick='jQuery("#wonderpluginaudio-1").data("object").pauseAudio();'>Click to Pause</a>

<a onclick='jQuery("#wonderpluginaudio-1").data("object").audioRun(1, true);'>Jump to Second Audio and Play</a>

<a onclick='jQuery("#wonderpluginaudio-1").data("object").audioRun(4, true);'>Jump to Fifth Audio and Play</a>

The demo is as following:

Click to Play
Click to Pause
Jump to Second Audio and Play
Jump to Fifth Audio and Play
