About this add-on
RLX Radio for LifeRaft OS
RLX Radio adds a responsive internet-radio directory and persistent player to LifeRaft OS. It accepts direct audio URLs, Shoutcast and Icecast endpoints (including explicit ports and mount paths), and M3U or PLS playlist URLs.
Internet radio directory and persistent player for Shoutcast, Icecast, direct audio streams, M3U, and PLS stations with artwork, categories, schedules, favorites, recent stations, live metadata, widgets, and analytics. Use it when the site needs stronger publishing, cleaner self-service information, or a serious web workflow without commissioning a custom build.
- Admin-managed content and settings
- Public pages with clean presentation
- Designed to run as an optional RLX module
- Turns scattered information into managed, branded, searchable site workflows
Capabilities and outcomes
How RLX Radio improves the build
The overview above identifies the core capability. These supporting outcomes help a project owner judge whether the add-on belongs in the package.
Gives web admins a concrete upgrade path without bloating the base install
RLX Radio can be packaged as an optional upgrade, bundle component, or project-specific module
Core Extensions builds that need RLX Radio without forcing it into every install
Standalone value
What it does by itself
RLX Radio can run as its own Core Extensions workflow. By itself, it focuses on Admin-managed content and settings, Public pages with clean presentation, and Designed to run as an optional RLX module, so a customer can use the module without buying every related add-on first.
Standalone means it does not have to be cross-linked with other add-ons. It still runs inside LifeRaft OS and requires a valid core LifeRaft OS license.
Connected value
What improves when related add-ons are active
When the customer also owns and activates related modules such as RLX Pages & CMS, RLX Blog, RLX Wiki, RLX FAQ, and RLX Knowledge Base, RLX Radio can hand off data, links, reporting, access control, content, or follow-up steps into those workflows. Those connections are optional and depend on the package being built.
