Configuration

You can configure the player by editing the CONFIG object in js/script.js:

let CONFIG = {
  STREAM_URL:   'https://your-stream.url/stream',
  API_URL:      'https://your-metadata-api.com/metadata',

  STATION_NAME: 'MY RADIO STATION',
  STATION_LOGO: 'https://link-to-your-logo.png',
  BRAND_NAME:   'Radio<span class="text-[var(--primary)]">Player</span>',

  PRIMARY_COLOR: '#f97316', // Initial theme color
  DYNAMIC_THEME: true,      // Set to false to use fixed colors

  META_INTERVAL_MS: 15_000, // Metadata refresh rate
