ATTN: Feed Owners. Please help us test a new embedded Web player for your Web pages.

You'll need to be experienced in HTML to understand these limited instructions - we'll fully document this later on.

Here is the base HTML code you need to use to embed your feed in your page:

Code:
<iframe width="325px" height="245px" 
src="http://www.radioreference.com/assets/remote/player.php?key=xxxxxxx&feedId=xxxxx">
Your browser does not support iFrames.
</iframe>

where:

feedId = your feedId
key = your assigned domain key

Note the iframe width and height. You'll need to tweak this based on the options your specify, whether or not your feed is a beta pro feed, and if you are displaying stats for your feed.

Suggested height and width values are:

Code:
Regular Feed with Stats:  	325px x 245px
Regular Feed w/o Stats: 	325px x 195px
Pro Feed with Stats: 		320px x 220px
ProFeed w/o Stats:  		325px x 175px

Additional Parameters you can add to the URL include:

Code:
as=1    - auto start player
stats=1   - show feed status and number of listeners in a table
bg=xxxxxx - background color in 6 character hex (do not add "#")
fg=xxxxxx  - text color 
tdbg=xxxxxx - stats table cell background color
tdfg=xxxxxx - stats table cell text color
thbg=xxxxxx - stats table cell header background color
thfg=xxxxxx  - stats table cell header text color
border=xxxxxx - stats table border color

For example, to display feedId=2455 with stats, the player auto-enabled, on a black background with white text, you would use the following code on your Web page:

Code:
<iframe width="325px" height="245px" 
src="http://www.radioreference.com/assets/remote/player.php?key=xxxxxxx&feedId=2455&stats=1&as=1&bg=000000&fg=FFFFFF">
Your browser does not support iFrames.
</iframe>

Please post links to your pages if you are testing so I can see how they look.

Enjoy!

I like the Stats option.

Is there any way to remove the scroll pause?

My feed name is long, so it scrolls across the player and it pauses each time when the beginning hits the left side of the player.

Is that any different than how the player acts on our site when listening using the Web Player?

BTW - I show the feed name just scrolling constantly across the player - I'm using Google Chrome as a browser and everything looks fine.

I just saw the scroll pause on another feed - so I guess it's something within the Flash player itself.

One thing to keep in mind is that the old flash player crashes a lot - where this one is very stable for our feeds.

The old players are still there as this is a beta.
I think I like it.

I didn't use the auto start as my GlobalTuners receiver embeds the site on the information page and it causes much audio confusion for those listeners :)

Lindsay,

On the line where it says "This feed hosted by RadioReference.com", if someone clicks on the RR link, it opens RR right in that little box. Not sure it is suppose to do that, but it does it in Firefox.

Lindsay,

Are you going to make feed alert messages and feed status messages available to the embedded players, as they are now on RR's web players?

New embedded player

Playing well at SouthCoast Massachusetts Scan (updated 6/16/10) Great job!

I would love to see tags available in the embedded players considered for the future.

On a different note...can anyone suggest a simple winamp skin or widget? I would like something with large (or resizeable text). I found the "vindows" skin to be good for tags but would like to see something that could be reduced to a single tag line and minimize the rest of the player. Vindow v3 - Winamp

Keep up the great work guys.
