Spreaker Shortcode

Description

The Spreaker shortcode plugin is an easy way to embed Spreaker audio player into your WordPress blog. It works for any Spreaker episode, show, or user. Once you install this plugin, it will work on all of your blog posts.

A simple example:

[spreaker type=player resource="episode_id=3331356"]

More Options

Spreaker shortcode requires the resource play. It can be only of the following:

• resource="episode_id=X": id of the episode to embed.
• resource="show_id=X": id of the show, whose latest episode should be displayed.
• resource="show_key=X": private key of the show to embed.

The plugin also supports the following optional parameters:

• width: player’s width – can be in % or px (ie. 100% or 400px).
• height: player’s height – can be in % or px (ie. 100% or 400px).
• theme: player’s UI theme. Supported themes are: light (default) and dark.

• cover: HTTPS url of an image to display as player’s background.
• playlist: configures how the playlist should be built. It can be playlist="false" to disable the playlist or playlist="show" to display all show’s episodes in the playlist. The default behavious depends on resource. The playlist is visible only if the player height is greater than 200px.

• playlist-loop: enables or disables loop playlist playback when continuous playback is enabled. When true and playlist continuous playback is enabled as well, it will loop the playlist continuously (defaults to false).
