Saiku Podcast Manager

$75.00

The Ultimate Audio & Video Podcasting Suite for WordPress

Turn your WordPress site into a professional streaming hub with secure S3 integration, stunning waveform visualizations, and a hybrid audio/video player.

Stop relying on generic audio players or third-party embeds that steal your traffic. The Saiku Podcast Manager is a self-hosted powerhouse designed for serious creators. It handles everything from secure file hosting on Amazon S3 to generating beautiful, interactive waveform players that keep your audience engaged. Whether you’re broadcasting audio-only episodes or full video vodcasts, this plugin handles it seamlessly in a single post type.

Key Features:

  • Hybrid Player: Switch instantly between a custom HTML5 video player and a WaveSurfer audio player with a single click.
  • Direct-to-S3 Uploads: Upload gigabytes of media directly to your AWS S3 bucket from the WordPress admin—bypassing your server’s upload limits entirely.
  • Secure Streaming: automatically generates signed, expiring URLs for your media, preventing unauthorized hotlinking and downloads.
  • Visual Flair: Features a dynamic background visualizer and pre-calculated waveform peaks for instant loading.
  • Smart Metadata: specialized fields for Guest Credits, Social Links, Runtime, and Air Date.
  • Description Converter: A built-in tool to clean up copy-pasted YouTube descriptions into formatted HTML.

How to Use:

  1. Configure: Go to Podcasts > Settings and enter your AWS S3 credentials (Key, Secret, Bucket, Region).
  2. Create: Click Podcasts > Add New. Enter your episode title and description.
  3. Upload: In the “Episode Details” box, use the “Upload to S3” button to send your media file directly to the cloud. You’ll see a real-time progress bar.
  4. Meta: Add your guest list, runtime, and social links in the dedicated sidebars.
  5. Publish: Hit publish. The plugin automatically generates the waveform peaks and secures the file.
  6. Display: Your theme will automatically show the player on the single post page, or you can use [saiku-latest-audio] to embed the latest episode anywhere.
