Mobile App Embeds

If your station has a mobile app, you can add a Listen Again page inside it. Your listeners can browse and play back episodes directly within the app.

Who is this for?​

This is for stations that have a mobile app built by a third party — for example, using Aiir, Broadcast Radio, or a custom app developer. Most mobile apps let you add a page that loads a web address. This feature gives you a single URL to add as a page in your app.

How it works​

AutoPod provides a lightweight player page designed specifically for mobile apps. Unlike the standard website widgets, this player:

  • Plays audio inline — no popups or redirects
  • Works in app webviews — tested with iOS and Android apps
  • Includes lock screen controls — listeners can pause, skip, and scrub from their lock screen or notification centre
  • Auto-plays the next episode — continuous listening
  • Uses your station's branding — colours and logo from your AutoPod settings

Getting your URL​

  1. In your AutoPod dashboard, go to Widgets
  2. Click the Mobile App tab
  3. Copy the link shown

Your URL looks like:

https://embedded.autopod.xyz/app/{your-stream-id}

Adding it to your app​

The steps depend on which app builder you use.

Aiir​

In your Aiir app CMS, add a new Custom Page and paste the URL as the page address.

Broadcast Radio​

In the Broadcast.Radio portal, add a Custom Web Page to your app navigation and paste the URL.

Other app builders​

Look for an option like "Custom Page", "Web Page", "Web View", or "External Link" in your app settings, and paste the URL there.

If you're not sure, contact your app provider and ask them to add a web page pointing to the URL above.

What listeners see​

When a listener opens the page in your app, they see:

  • Your station name and logo at the top
  • A list of your latest episodes with artwork and show names
  • Tapping an episode opens a full-screen player with:
    • Large artwork
    • Play/pause, skip back 30s, skip forward 30s
    • A scrubber to jump to any point
    • Time elapsed and remaining
  • A mini player bar at the bottom while browsing other episodes
  • Lock screen and notification centre controls

What's included​

  • Chronological episode list (newest first)
  • Full-screen player with scrubber and controls
  • Mini player bar for browsing while listening
  • Lock screen and notification centre media controls
  • Continuous playback — next episode plays automatically
  • Lazy loading for large episode catalogues
  • Your station branding (colours and logo)

What's not included​

This is a focused listen-again experience. It doesn't include:

  • Live streaming (use the standard player for live)
  • Show browsing or schedule views
  • Search functionality

These features are available in the full AutoPod Player, which works best in a regular web browser.

Troubleshooting​

Audio doesn't play: Make sure your app is loading the URL in a webview (not opening it in the device's browser). The player is designed to work inside app webviews.

Page looks wrong: Check that the URL is correct and includes your stream ID. You can find the correct URL on the Widgets page in your dashboard.
