MediaBlaster Audio Player Elementor widget

Vimeo integration Opt-in, disabled by default. OAuth; browse/select videos; metadata and thumbnail import; import supported Vimeo playback URLs; review-before-import; bulk import; drafts by default. Playback data depends on account, permissions, and API response.

How MediaBlaster Works

MediaBlaster manages content, metadata, players, schedules, feeds, and app configuration in WordPress.

The site owner selects and pays for their own media hosting.

A theme, page builder, custom frontend, or connected app presents the content.

MediaBlaster does not upload, encode, host, or deliver video as a SaaS platform. Use HLS, DASH, or MP4 URLs from compatible hosts. Vimeo is a native opt-in integration; other providers are owner-configured.

Optional Roku Launch Kit The free plugin can be the WordPress backend for custom apps. The MediaBlaster Roku Launch Kit is an optional commercial product sold separately. It connects a custom Roku app to MediaBlaster content and App Config and is not included with the WordPress.org plugin: https://www.mediablaster.io/roku-launch-kit

External Services Vimeo Contacted only after an administrator enables Vimeo and starts OAuth or import. May transmit client ID, redirect URL, authorization code, and credentials or tokens. Library requests retrieve account/video metadata, thumbnails, tags, descriptions, durations, and playback files from Vimeo. Thumbnail import downloads the remote image. Connection data is stored in options. Activation alone does not connect Vimeo.

Stripe For the subscription developer preview only. Contacted when subscriptions are enabled, Stripe credentials are set, and checkout, customer, subscription, or billing-portal actions run. May include name/email, user ID, site URL metadata, Price ID, and return URLs. Stripe returns IDs/statuses; webhooks send events. Checkout/portal users go to Stripe-hosted pages. Activation alone does not contact Stripe.

User-selected media hosting During playback, the browser connects to media URLs configured by the site owner. That provider may receive IP, browser, referrer, cookies, or other request data under its terms. MediaBlaster does not auto-select a provider. Site owners document services they configure.
