MCTV Community Media Your stories, your town
This page was created to test various WordPress plugin options to deliver live broadcast video more reliably than the current one (jwplayer).
Bradmax Video Player
Video seems stable/smooth. Initial configuration not delivering audio. Similar look/feel to current.

Video good. Nice that it doesn’t take user interaction to start. Audio shows as muted.
[srs_player url=”https://603591da64140.streamlock.net/live/mp4:MCTVtest_aac/playlist.m3u8?DVR”]Embed Plus
Ties to YouTube livestream. May not keep link updated if stream link changes.
Raw Embed of YouTube Live
Similar to Embed Plus. Link may not stay stable.
JW Player
We’re testing a couple of different web streaming players to try and improve quality. Please bear with us…
Others
Presto Player: Vetoed. Requires upgrade to pro version.
Video JS: Does not accept .m3u8 as input.
Broacast Video Player (VideoWhisper): Setup too complicated. Configuration restricts/alters WordPress defaults.
