Set up a Radio Streaming Player
This guide details the configuration of a Player for your Streaming Radio Infomaniak.
Prerequisites
Configuring the options for the Infomaniak Player
Once you have linked your stream to your Player and your Player is created:
- Click here to access the management of your product on the Manager Infomaniak (need help?).
- Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
- Click on My players in the left sidebar.
- Click on the name of the Player to configure (or create a new player):
1. Appearance tab
This is where you can choose the player size (large, medium, mini, or multi-radio player) and its display percentage.
You can customize the colors of the background, buttons, and text:
A toggle switch allows you to enable or disable the display of the tracks broadcast, with or without their broadcast times:
- Take note of the details on this subject at the end of this guide.
The Player can display:
- an illustration representing the album cover, or a substitute image if it is not available,
- a static image (3 MB max.),
- your radio's logo, to customize here:
- an audio spectrum visualization (Spectrogram / Spectrum).
2. Tab Broadcast
This is where you can link your radio streams (HLS or not) to your Player being configured.
Refer to this other guide regarding the options offered concerning live management:
3. Tab Thumbnails
This is where you can upload images that will be visible when the stream is loading, or unavailable/restricted.
4. Tab Player Information
This is where you can name your Player and decide to show or hide:
- the title and the artist instead of the radio name,
- the number of listeners,
- the Infomaniak logo.
5. Tab Sharing Options
A toggle switch allows you to enable or disable certain services like Facebook. Once enabled, a share button for these services will be visible on your Player:
Broadcast history details (tab #1)
The broadcast history allows you to re-listen to the music broadcast (between 1 and 40) if your stream is of type HLS only (you can then define a buffer memory ranging from 25 seconds to 2 hours):
The rewind and replay feature is not enabled by default: it remains optional to comply with the restrictions of certain countries or radios. Once activated, the radio manager can choose which streams will be available for broadcast (see tab #2 above), while the listener can select the listening quality in the Player:
Position & integration of the broadcast history
The list is viewable as follows:
- directly under the Player,
- on the Player,
- or movable within the integration of your website…
Indeed, it is possible to display the history in a second iframe, separate from the main Player. Example URL for the Player:https://player-radio.infomaniak.com/2/prod/super/7cbaa24a-3510-47a4-b41e-b99218bfd507
And for the offloaded history:https://player-radio.infomaniak.com/2/prod/history
The two iframes must be integrated on the same page and communicate with each other to update the history or play a previously broadcasted title.
A second integration mode allows you to display an autonomous history, without a main iframe. Simply add the ID of the Player to the URL:https://player-radio.infomaniak.com/2/prod/history/7cbaa24a-3510-47a4-b41e-b99218bfd507
This mode is suitable, for example, for users of another Player who wish to display only the history of tracks.
