原文外掛簡介
SDAweb Channels for YouTube is a lightweight, privacy-friendly way to showcase YouTube content on your WordPress site. Add any number of public YouTube channels and display their videos using shortcodes or a Gutenberg block. Videos are cached locally so visitor page views consume zero API quota.
Layouts & Playback
Grid — Responsive multi-column grid (1–4 columns)
Tabs — Channel-tabbed interface with 3 navigation modes: scroll, wrapping pills, and avatar strip
Slider — Horizontal carousel with arrow navigation
Auto player (default) — Adapts to screen size: lightbox on desktop & tablet, inline on mobile phones
Lightbox player — Fullscreen overlay with keyboard and swipe navigation
Inline player — Play directly inside the video card with expand-to-lightbox
Link mode — Opens videos on YouTube in a new tab
Avatar strip — Compact row of channel avatars with labeled names and smart truncation
Mobile bottom sheet — Touch-optimized player with swipe-to-dismiss
Landscape mobile — Optimized layouts: horizontal cards for live streams, 2-column grid for regular content
Live & Upcoming Streams
Automatic detection of live broadcasts and scheduled upcoming streams
Smart sort order: live streams first, then all streams sorted by proximity to the current time — the most relevant broadcasts always appear first
Dedicated [sdawchfo_live] shortcode for live and upcoming content
Live badge with concurrent viewer count and pulse animation
Upcoming badge with scheduled start time countdown
5-minute background polling keeps live status current (1-minute with Broadcast Boost)
Live Broadcast Boost — configurable day/time window for 1-minute polling during scheduled broadcasts
Zero-quota RSS feed discovery catches scheduled broadcasts not in the uploads playlist
Live and upcoming streams are automatically excluded from regular shortcodes
Channel Management
Add channels by URL, handle (@username), or channel ID
Drag-and-drop reordering controls tab and section display order
Custom labels per channel for friendly display names
Automatic video caching with configurable 1–24 hour refresh intervals (up to 3 channels per cron run)
Manual refresh per channel or all channels at once
Import and export channels and settings as JSON
Shortcodes
Four shortcodes cover every use case:
[sdawchfo_channel] — Videos from a single channel (by id, handle, or label)
[sdawchfo_channels] — Multiple channels in grid, tabs, or slider layout
[sdawchfo_feed] — Combined feed mixing videos from all channels
[sdawchfo_live] — Live and upcoming streams with empty-state message
All shortcodes support these attributes: count, columns, layout, sort, player, pagination, per_page, show_stats, show_duration, show_channel, and live_only.

Third-Party Services
YouTube Data API v3
This plugin connects to the YouTube Data API v3 to fetch channel information and video data. API calls are made server-side only when:
An admin adds or refreshes a channel
The scheduled cron refresh runs (configurable interval, default 6 hours)
The live status cron runs (every 5 minutes, or every 1 minute during a configured Broadcast Boost window)
No API calls are made during normal visitor page views — all data is served from the local cache.

API endpoint: https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3

Google Privacy Policy
A YouTube Data API v3 key is required. You can obtain one for free from the Google Cloud Console.
YouTube RSS Feeds
This plugin fetches public YouTube RSS feeds (https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml) to discover recently published and scheduled videos. These requests are read-only, use no API quota, and contain only publicly available video IDs.
