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: inline on desktop, lightbox on mobile phones
Lightbox player — Fullscreen overlay with keyboard shortcuts (arrow keys, Escape), swipe gestures, and prev/next 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
Toggleable “Live now” and “Coming up” section headings
Stale guard: upcoming streams auto-expire after 6 hours, live after 24 hours — no stuck statuses
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.

Privacy & Performance
All video data is cached in your local database
Visitor page views make zero external API calls
No cookies are set and no visitor data is sent to third parties
YouTube embeds use the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com domain
YouTube embeds load only when a visitor clicks play
Lazy loading: thumbnail images load only when they scroll into view
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.
Service provider: Google LLC
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.

YouTube Embeds
When a visitor clicks play on a video, an iframe loads from YouTube’s privacy-enhanced domain (youtube-nocookie.com). No embed loads until the visitor initiates playback. No cookies are set by this domain.

YouTube IFrame Player API
When a visitor opens the lightbox player, the YouTube IFrame Player API script (https://www.youtube.com/iframe_api) is loaded to enable programmatic playback control (mute/unmute toggle). This script is only loaded when the lightbox is first opened — not on page load. No data is sent to YouTube beyond what the standard embed already transmits.
