Spreaker

Hi Connie,
thanks for your report. It’s definitely very weird, and I would need few more information to investigate it.

– May you give me the URL of the page where you’ve embedded the player? https://thismysticlife.com/audio looks broken
– What browser version and operating system are you running?

Thank you,
Marco

Hi,
thanks for reaching us. Right now it’s not possible, but we can work on this.

A generic option I was thinking about is:
1. Add support for id="something" attribute in the shortcode (ie. [embed id="episode-1" height="400"]https://www.spreaker.com/user/marco[/embed])
2. Load the widget via our Javascript loader instead of directly embedding the iframe, so that you can control each widget via Javascript (ie. SP.getWidget("episode-1").play())

This way you could display a play button externally (out of the widget), and attach it an onclick listener that controls the widget itself. For example:

<a href="#" onclick="SP.getWidget("episode-1").play(); return false">Play</a>

You can also find the JS loader API reference here:

What’s your take?

Hi @ohitsbigron,
sorry for the late reply. The Spreaker plugin should be installed like any other WordPress plugin (preferably from the /wp-admin). May you give me more details about the issue you’ve installing it, please?

Thank you,
Marco

Hi there,
I’ve just released the version 1.3.5 that should fix your issue and keep backward compatibility. When the type attribute is missing, the plugin will display the old (mini) embedded player (that’s the behaviour of 1.2.x plugin versions). In order to get the new embedded player, you should add type="player".

Hi there,
sorry for that. I’m going to fix the backward compatibility right now. A new version of the plugin should be available shortly.

The widget, when the playlist is enabled, displays the current episode on top and the playlist of episodes on bottom (please note it’s required the widget height to be > 200px).

You can see a preview here:

Hi there,
please see my reply below.

when I embed a code which I’ve taken from spreaker.com this is the result

Weird. It actually looks like a CSS in the page is stretching the Spreaker Widget iframe height. May you give me the URL of the page where this player is published, so that I can check it, please?

Pratically I need a widget in a side bar with player who show me last podcast I made.

Sure. I guess you got the embed code from the Spreaker website. When you configure the widget, before getting the embed code on the Spreaker website, please select the episode to display as “The latest episode of this show” and it will automatically update to the latest episode available.

Hi there,
sorry for the very late reply. The plugin is actually compatible till the latest version, but the information was not updated in the plugin itself. We’ll pay much more attention about it.
