I am working on setting up multiple webpages to play morning announcements for a school district. They want the teachers to be able to stream morning announcements, and we found that this player works really well for this. In testing we have found that if the teachers open the page before the stream starts, it will never actually start playing.
Is there a way to get the player to refresh itself or try to reconnect to the stream if there is not one playing so that it can catch the stream start?
I found that using a playlist it actually refreshed like we wanted, but then if any streams went active for example the middle school, the high school would end up playing that one also. In order to keep each school separate it seems like I had to put in the source/splash for each page into its shortcode instead of a playlist.Thanks

Just some added info, this is needed for all browsers, it is an hls stream (m3u8 files) and the domain/main page is parklandtv.com
Hello John,
please make sure you mark the stream as “Live” in the FV Player Editor and reinstall FV Player from https://wordpress.org/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer or using wp-admin -> Plugins -> Add New.
To do that you will have to first deactivate and delete the current FV Player plugin you are using. WordPress will warn you that you might loose settings and data, but it’s not the case with our plugin, no settings now videos will be lost. Or you can just replace the plugin files via FTP.
I found there was a new bug in the live streaming count-down.
Thanks,
Martin
Thank you! In testing it appears like the initial stream start and if the enoder is restarted the player is now able to pick it up and stream. The school announcements will be live tomorrow for a full test, but all appears to be in order.
Just to confirm what you said, it did save all settings and even skin css modifications and individual page shortcodes.
