    Hello,

    Is it possible to configure the player to play a streaming video url such as rtmp or m3u8?
    In this case, if so, will the small icon for recasting the video on television screens be present on the player ?

    Thanks

    Hey Seb,

    WpStream goes beyond these and provides a full streaming solution, complete with WP integration, monetization tools, broadcasting tools, global video processing/distribution platform, built-in video player and easy to use tutorials.

    When you create a ‘Live Channel’ on WpStream:

    • a RTMP URL is generated for it – for broadcasting
    • a HLS (.m3u8) URL is also generated – for playback

    Depending on the setup, the user may or may not interact with these URLs. Especially in the case of the playback (except for advanced scenarios) the WpStream player auto-configures with the HLS URL and this is transparent to the user.

    The built-in WpStream player does not (yet) provide ‘cast’ functionality – i.e. for Chromecast or AirPlay. However this can be achieved by using a 3rd party player.

    If you’re solely looking for a player that connects to an existing .m3u8 URL, you may want to look for something like Bradmax.

    Hope this helps, best wishes,
    Christina

    Thank you but I’m not looking for a streaming solution, I already have my server.
    I am looking for a player capable of reading my rtmp or m3u8 streaming url and that on the player we have the small icon which allows the video to be cast on another screen such as for example on the television connected to the same network as the device on which we watch the video.

    Hello there,

    WpStream is a streaming plugin which its own servers. We do not currently have ‘cast’ features but you may use the beta third party player to accomplish this.

    Let me know if there is anything else we can assist you with, and apologies for the late respons!

    Best,
    Beatrice
