u-radio

What is this?

u-radio is a youtube-powered internet radio for your personal website. everyone checking your page will be playing the same video at the same time.

How does it work?

*whispers in your ear* it's javascript! there's a javascript file which calculates which video should be played, based on a pre-determined schedule and the current clock time. the full code is available here.

How can I add it to my own page?

to add u-radio to your webpage, you need to include three things:

1. the player.js file hosted here
2. the database.js containing the schedule, which can be created here
3. the youtube iframe

the two scripts can be included by adding:

<script type="text/javascript" src="database.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="player.js"></script>

whereas the iframe can be included by:

<iframe id="uradio-iframe-yt" width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ?autoplay=1&enablejsapi=1&controls=0" frameborder="0" controls=0 allow="autoplay"></iframe>

note that the iframe contains customizable parameters, such as width and height.

It isn't working!
