Experience
Most Wanted WordPress Plugins Pack
After receiving the design, I took charge of the plugins' full-stack programming.
Hero - Shoutcast and Icecast Radio Player with History | WordPress Plugin
https://codecanyon.net/item/hero-shoutcast-and-icecast-radio-player-with-history-wordpress-plugin/19364283The player integrates the audio DB API to display the artist's image, ensuring they're displayed at a high resolution. To cover all clients' needs, I've additionally built the Elementor Widget and WPBakery Addon.
This player only uses JavaScript to read the current playing song and the history. By that means, it will have no restrictions from the servers. A PHP solution might need the radio PORT opened if the radio PORT is not the standard 80 or 443. I also have experience with radio players using PHP, like this one: codecanyon.net/item/shout-html5-radio-player-with-ads-shoutcast-and-icecast-support-wordpress-plugin/20667135.
Universal Video Player | WordPress Plugin
https://codecanyon.net/item/universal-video-player-wordpress-plugin/9683312For YouTube videos, all that is needed is the YouTube video ID. The plugin will get the other necessary information from the YouTube server using the YouTube API.
To cover all clients' needs, I've also built the Elementor Widget and WPBakery Addon.
