A small, focused internet radio player for your WordPress admin — 44 hand-curated stations, history, favourites, and a pop-out window.

== Description ==

**RangerHQ Radio** adds a tiny, focused internet radio player to your WordPress dashboard so you can have background music while you work in the admin — without leaving the page, opening Spotify, or installing a desktop client.

= What you get =

* **44 hand-curated stations from [SomaFM](https://somafm.com)** across 10 genres — ambient, electronic, lounge, rock, metal, jazz, world, reggae, holiday and specials. From coding-focus ambient (Groove Salad, Drone Zone) to drive-time electronic (DEF CON Radio, Beat Blender) to mellow lounge (Lush, Secret Agent).
* **Now-playing indicator** — small CSS dancing-bars equalizer that pulses while audio is playing. A Web Audio frequency visualizer kicks in automatically when the browser allows it (with a graceful fallback to the CSS bars).
* **Track history + favourites** — every track that scrolls past is logged to your personal History page (capped at 500); a star toggle promotes the good ones to a separate Favourites tab that doesn't age out. Each row has four search links (Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Bandcamp) so you can find that track on whichever service you use.
* **Pop-out mini-player** — a 380×560 standalone window that persists across the main tab's navigation, so background music doesn't cut when you move between Plugins, Posts, Users, etc.
* **OS media keys** — F8/headphone buttons/lock-screen widget play and pause the radio (via MediaSession API).
* **Mute toggle** — the speaker icon is clickable; remembers prior volume.
* **Dark theme** — explicit dark option for the player surface (`Settings → Theme`).
* **Per-user state** — your chosen station, volume, theme, history, and favourites all live in `user_meta`, so each WordPress user has their own setup.

= Privacy + dependencies =

* **No tracking, no telemetry, no third-party scripts on your admin pages.** Audio plays directly in your browser via HTML5 — just an `<audio>` element pointed at SomaFM's public streams.
* **No data leaves your site.** History and favourites are stored in your own `wp_usermeta`. The four search links use deep-link search URLs on each provider's public site — no API keys, no third-party JS embedded.
* **Stations courtesy of [SomaFM](https://somafm.com)** — an independent, listener-supported, commercial-free internet radio network broadcasting from San Francisco since 2000. RangerHQ Radio is a small wrapper around their public streams. If you enjoy the music, please consider [supporting SomaFM directly](https://somafm.com/support/).

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` (or install from the WordPress plugin directory).
2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
3. Open **Radio → My Radio** in the admin sidebar and press Play. Your station and volume choice are saved per user.

There is no separate configuration step — defaults are sensible (Groove Salad at 60% volume). Settings are at **Radio → Settings**.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this work on the front-end of my site? =

No — RangerHQ Radio is admin-only. It adds a player to the WordPress dashboard for you (and your other authenticated admins) to use while working. It does not embed a radio player on the public-facing site.

= Can I add my own stations? =

Not via the admin yet. The station list is hard-coded in `inc/stations.php` (44 SomaFM stations). If you'd like to add custom stations or other internet radio sources, please open an issue on the [Gitea repo](https://git.davidtkeane.com/ranger/a-radio).

= The pop-out window doesn't open. =

Your browser may be blocking pop-ups. Click the address bar's pop-up icon to allow pop-ups for this site, then try again.

= Why does Touch ID / a passkey prompt appear when I press Play? =

It shouldn't. This plugin uses no biometrics or authentication of its own — that's a different plugin in the RangerHQ family.

= The current-track display says nothing / is hidden. =

SomaFM's track-info endpoint (`somafm.com/songs/{station}.json`) is fetched best-effort. If it's unreachable or the browser blocks the request, the track display silently hides. The player keeps working regardless.

== Screenshots ==

1. The main player page (Radio → My Radio) with the now-playing indicator dancing while audio is playing.
2. The dashboard widget — same player, compact, sits alongside your usual dashboard widgets.
3. Track History page with star-to-favourite and four search-provider links per row.
4. Pop-out mini-player window — keeps playing while you navigate the rest of the admin.

== Changelog ==

= 0.7.0 =
* WordPress.org submission prep — full PCP-clean. Plugin name normalised to **RangerHQ Radio** (SomaFM stays in the description as the data source). Text Domain renamed `radio` → `a-radio` everywhere (134 i18n call sites updated). Six `printf` / `sprintf` calls now carry translator comments. All admin `$_POST` access now `wp_unslash()` + `sanitize_*` at the access point. `Requires at least` bumped to 5.3 (matches `wp_date()` usage). Pop-out window now uses `wp_enqueue_*` + `wp_print_styles()` / `wp_print_footer_scripts()` instead of raw `<link>` / `<script>` tags; popup-specific CSS moved into `radio.css` under `body.radio-popout` scope. `.DS_Store` files removed. Proper `readme.txt`.

= 0.6.3 =
* Discreet "buy me a coffee" support link in the Updates panel and the About-page Credits card. Single `RADIO_SUPPORT_URL` constant; conditional render — silently hidden if the constant is empty.

= 0.6.2 =
* Current version badge on the Settings page — small grey pill follows the H1 reading `v{RADIO_VERSION}`.

= 0.6.1 =
* About page restructure — 3-card top row (What / Who / Credits) + full-width Version history with the latest expanded and earlier releases as one-liners.

= 0.6.0 =
* Pop-out mini-player. `↗ Pop out` button beside Play opens a 380×560 standalone window that persists across the main tab's navigation, so background music keeps playing while you click around Plugins / Posts / Users.

= 0.5.0 =
* Track history + favourites. Every track that scrolls past is logged to a per-user `Radio → History` page (capped at 500). Star toggle promotes tracks to a separate Favourites tab. Four search-provider links per row (Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Bandcamp).

= 0.4.0 =
* Now-playing visual indicator. CSS dancing-bars equalizer that pulses while audio is playing. Web Audio frequency visualizer kicks in when the browser allows it (with graceful fallback).

= 0.3.0 =
* Dark theme, mute toggle on the speaker icon, MediaSession API (OS media keys), SomaFM current-track polling under the station description.

= 0.2.0 =
* UI rebuilt to WordPress admin standards — postbox container, native play/pause button with text label, picks up the user's admin colour scheme via `var(--wp-admin-theme-color)`.

= 0.1.0 =
* First release — 44 SomaFM stations across 10 genres, dashboard widget + dedicated admin page, per-user state, self-hosted Gitea updater.

== Upgrade Notice ==

= 0.7.0 =
WordPress.org submission prep. Plugin name now "RangerHQ Radio". Text Domain renamed `radio` → `a-radio`. No user-visible behaviour changes; settings, history, and favourites all survive the upgrade.
