🧠 Pro Tips

• Always ensure volume is up and device sound isn't muted!

CasterClub-YPPlayer/1.0

The CasterClub-YPPlayer/1.0 is our custom web-based player specifically developed for use on yp.casterclub.com. It was engineered to support over 13,000 active radio streams while maintaining minimal latency and compatibility with various formats like MP3, AAC, and AAC+.

This player identifies itself via a unique User-Agent string: CasterClub-YPPlayer/1.0. This signature helps us trace playback activity in server logs, monitor feature engagement, and maintain compatibility across partner streaming servers. If you're a station owner and see this in your access logs, it means someone is tuning in from our directory!

🔍 Player Features

• Supports HTML5 audio playback for both MP3 and AAC streams
• Lightweight with minimal dependencies
• Auto-title updates when CORS headers are present
• Click-to-play UX with failover support for [Server URL]
• Auto-pause on tab switch (coming soon)

⚠️ Known Limitations

• Chrome and Edge may block autoplay or insecure HTTP content without special settings
• Safari does not support cross-origin stream titles for some servers
• Firefox offers the most consistent playback and should be preferred

We are working on releasing secure reverse proxy endpoints to ensure HTTPS compatibility across all major browsers. Until then, for best results use the latest version of Firefox on macOS, Windows, or Linux.

The Future of Media Play

We envision a future where every listener has a personalized audio dashboard powered by live content, social feedback, AI scoring, and decentralized station hosting.
