Anow HD Radio 2.0 – Radio Station Website (Laravel) with Sticky Live Player, Now Playing, Song Requests & Flutter Radio App

Anow HD Radio 2.0 - your station, always on air

Anow HD Radio is a complete website for one radio station: a live player with a sticky footer bar that keeps playing while listeners browse, a sound-reactive wave, now playing and recently played songs, song requests and dedications, the weekly program schedule with the show on air, on-air crew and team profiles, hero slides, ads, pages, a contact inbox and one admin panel in light and dark.

Version 2.0 is Anow HD Radio rebuilt on Laravel 13 with the same design - much faster. Owners of 1.0 update in place: upload 2.0 over the same folder, open the site and press "Update to 2.0" - programs, crew, images, settings and the admin login are kept, and old links redirect. New: a Flutter radio app for Android and iPhone with background playback, lock-screen controls and a sleep timer.

Updating from 1.0

1. Back up your files and your database.
2. Upload the contents of the anowhdradio folder into the folder where 1.0 is installed and allow the files to be replaced.
3. Open your website and press "Update to 2.0". Sign in at /radio_admin with your 1.0 login.

New install

1. Create an empty MySQL / MariaDB database and user and select PHP 8.3 or newer.
2. Upload the anowhdradio folder and point your domain to its public folder - or upload its contents into public_html (with the hidden .htaccess).
3. Open your domain: the installer checks the server, asks for the database and your station, and lets you start empty or with the demo station.
4. Optional cron job: * * * * * cd /path/to/anowhdradio && php artisan schedule:run
5. Sign in at /radio_admin.
