Can I be that dumb?

I hope the answer to this question is not yes!

I want to do a really simple thing. Put a scanner widget on my website that covers Fire & EMS in my county. As I recall, years ago all it took was a snipit of code and bing, you had a nice scanner widget on your website. Has something changed? I can't seem to find a simple webpage plugin.Please help!

Thanks....

There are much easier ways to do this! IMHO, Radioreference and Broadcastify are making this WAY to complex and cumbersome. As I mentioned, there use to be simple widgets that you plugged into your website to provide scanner usability for your audience. Now, it seems you have to do some customization to accomplish what use to be a very simple plug and play task. Thanks for your help.

I don't see that you are a feed provider. To embed a Broadcastify feed on your page, it has to be your feed. Otherwise, you are stealing the audio server bandwidth from Broadcastify.

That said, If you are streaming your own scanner through your home computer to your own website, in years past you just needed windows media encoder and to embed windows media player into your webpage. It was about 10 lines of code total.

Probably the easiest now is to use RadioFeed ( https://www.proscan.org/ ) and embed a player on your page.

I've applied and waiting!

Waiting for them to approve my feed request. Sure hope it is going to be a https address. Most web browsers wont accept regular http anymore. In the meantime I'v found a temp fix.

Once you get setup with Broadcastify, go to Manage My Feed -> Technicals. Look at the EMBED FEED IN A WEB PAGE section. The code looks like this

<iframe width="325px" height="245px" src="http://api.broadcastify.com/embed/player/?key=xxxxxxx&feedId=xxx">Your browser does not support iFrames.</iframe>

Broadcastify uses https so it looks like this code example wasn't updated to reflect https.

Thanks - I guess that I just need to wait for them to approve me
