This plugin adds a widget to your WordPress sidebar showing the currently played song of a AzuraCast station by their public API. You’re able to configure whether to display the album, title, artist, artwork and player links.
Important: By version 2.0.0 you need to use the station shortcode instead of station id. It’s necessary because AzuraCast’s Live Now-Playing Api won’t support station ids. You need to enable websocket support in your AzuraCast Instance.
