External services
This plugin connects to external services only as required for the radio stream and metadata selected by the site administrator.
- Administrator-configured stream and metadata provider
When visitors play the station, their browsers connect directly to the Stream URL configured by the site administrator. The WordPress server can also make HTTP requests to the configured Stream URL and optional Metadata URL to determine stream availability and retrieve Now Playing information.
The destination is chosen by the site administrator. The selected streaming/metadata provider may receive normal connection information such as IP address, user agent, and request headers according to that provider’s own terms and privacy policy.
If the administrator enters an externally hosted logo URL instead of choosing an image from the WordPress Media Library, visitors’ browsers request that image from the selected image host.
- Zeno.fm
fm metadata endpoint in order to retrieve the current track title.
