The Audio Player plugin connects to your Media Center or Media Center RSS Feed to deliver podcasts, music, guided meditations, or lectures directly inside your app. It provides seamless playback with controls for skipping, rewinding, and adjusting speed, plus options to loop, shuffle, and build custom playlists. A floating playback bar stays visible as users navigate the app, allowing them to return to the full player anytime.

Requirements

  • This is a Boost plugin, available on specific plans only.

  • A Media Center or Media Center RSS Feed plugin must already be added to your app

  • Audio files must be uploaded to one of these media features before using the Audio Player
