Hello everybody,

what’s the best way to automatically refresh user webpage or player when a Live stream starts?

Jwplayer did it automatically in old versions, but now I need something that could work with html5 and jwplayer is now asking me 600$ to do that.

Any alternatives or ideas?

Hello @Matteo Giudici, thank you for your question. The HTML5 Wowza player does not automatically refresh the player, but you can accomplish this through the Wowza Javascript Player.

One way to do it is to use the error event listener, they can periodically listen for error events (which would trigger if the stream is not yet available), and if there are errors, to reload the player.

Please see this doc for more:

Hello,

I would like some information.

I try to detect when stream is stop on Wowza player, and when an other stream is live (whit the same target).

I try

- [onError, removeOnError](https://www.wowza.com/docs/wowza-player-javascript-api-overview#onerror-removeonerror) but nothing happens …

Someone can help me to implement a trigger for loosing playback and wait for reconnect or reload the player ?

thank you 🙂
