Hello,

I'm trying to embed a livestream of my desktop (just showing what I'm doing anytime the stream is accessible) on my wordpress website.

I have "JWP 6 Plugin for Wordpress v.2.1.10" installed and so far I'm not even able to complete the tutorial below since it returns me an error "error loading player, no playable sources found"
http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1403712-wordpress-plugin-quickstart

This is a non-commercial purpose as the website will only be accessible to a few community members (10 to 20) that don't pay for accessing the stream.

Thanks again.

Hello,

Sorry to hear this is not working out for you. Lets see if we can’t get you up and running. First, can you confirm what video format you are trying to include in your playlist/file designation? Unsupported file types can cause undesirable behavior within the player sometimes. Also, the current release of our WordPress plugin requires WordPress v.3.0 and PHP 5.0 or higher can you confirm your versions are correct?

Kindly,
Randy

Hello Randy,

As mentioned before I used the file you give for test purpose at this adress :
http://content.jwplatform.com/videos/nfSyO85Q-52qL9xLP.mp4

Wordpress 4.1.1
PHP 5.4.16

I was in touch with godaddy support today and they informed me they don't allow true streaming on shared hostings. I understood streaming would still work if I host the video which I did in the example above.

Also, since the purpose of the streaming is to be live with wiewers attending a private webinar, godaddy told me I'd able to deal with that on managed VPS hosting but it's on your side to check if jwplayer would work considering the setup of their managed VPS's.

Thanks for your help
