World Radios – 3D Globe Live Radio Directory Script (Laravel 13, PHP 8.3) with Android App

A complete radio website built around a real 3D globe

World Radios turns your domain into a beautiful live-radio directory. Visitors spin a smooth 3D globe, move a glowing city dot into the circle and hear that city's stations instantly – from space down to street and house level on free satellite maps.

Why buyers choose it

• Real 3D globe (MapLibre GL) with satellite, streets, Night lights and Blue Marble maps – no API key needed
• Thousands of stations in minutes with the built-in Radio Browser importer (whole countries or single stations)
• The radio keeps playing while visitors read pages, open station pages or sign in
• Every station gets its own SEO page with schema.org data, Open Graph cards and sitemap.xml
• 11 built-in languages and 120+ more with one-click automatic translation, right-to-left support
• Installable app (PWA) for phones, laptops and computers, plus a ready Android app source (Android Studio) that also runs on Android TV
• One-click updates from the admin panel – your stations, settings and uploads are always kept

For listeners

Favourites synced across devices with free listener accounts, 1–5 star ratings, search, "radio near me", sleep timer, lock-screen controls, dark and light mode and a smooth phone layout with a mini player.

For you, the admin

A full admin panel with light/dark mode that works on phones: stations with bulk editing, places, visitor submissions with approval, reports, stream health checks that hide offline stations and fix links automatically, automatic logo finder, pages (privacy, terms, about), SMTP e-mail with a test button, AdSense and custom code, colours and map styles – everything without touching code.

Built to run on shared hosting

Upload, extract and run the web installer – all libraries are included, no Composer, Node.js or SSH. Background jobs never run side by side, the stream relay has a listener limit, and recent errors are shown right in the admin panel.

• PHP 8.3 or newer (8.4 / 8.5 supported) with the usual extensions (PDO, mbstring, openssl, curl, zip, gd, fileinfo)
• MySQL 5.7+ / 8.x or MariaDB 10.3+ (SQLite also supported)
• Any cPanel, hPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin or VPS hosting (Apache or Nginx); SSL (https) recommended
• A cron job (cPanel → Cron Jobs) for automatic stream checks and logos – optional
• Visitors: any current desktop or mobile browser with WebGL
• Android app: Android Studio (free) to build your own APK / AAB

Install

1. Create an empty MySQL database and a user with all privileges in your hosting panel.
2. Upload worldradios-v3.2.1-cpanel.zip to your domain folder (e.g. public_html), extract it and select PHP 8.3 or newer.
3. Open your domain: the web installer checks the server, creates the tables and your admin account.
4. Log in at /radio_admin and set your site name, logo, colours and map styles in Settings.
5. Open Import and import the countries or stations you want; add languages in Languages.
6. Optional: add the cron job shown in Admin → Stream health, set up e-mail in Settings → E-mail, and submit /sitemap.xml to Google Search Console.

Updates

Admin → Update shows when a new version is out: upload the zip and click Install – a backup is made first and your database, stations, settings and uploads are kept.

Android app

Unzip the Android source, set your website address and app name in gradle.properties, open it in Android Studio and build a signed APK / AAB (step-by-step guide in the documentation, chapter 13).
