Help me figure out why video rendering is not working correctly it gets blotchy and why both videos don't play on chrome but play on edge browser
None of these issues exist on 6.12 using chrome w/ Flash player or using mac and android devices video quality is flawless.

correction why Live doesn't work on chrome vod works
You are using JW Player 7 FREE version that does not support HLS
Except you will notice that the second player renders in HTML 5 mode even though you have Flash Primary
This is because Edge browser supports HLS in HTML and so therefore ,since if rendered in Flash you would not be able to play HLS because the license does not support HLS, then it plays in HTML5 mode. This is why Chrome wont play it because Chrome only supports HLS in Flash.
When Chrome and Firefox catch up to Edge browser, things could get interesting for JW Player.
ahh ok makes sense well i would have premium player but support hasn't upgraded my account yet..
But have u noticed in edge browser the live content is blotchy?
was even blotchy with 6.12 player on edge browser
I have fixed the vod on test feedsas i was using mp4 file directly now as u can see video rendering on edge sucks
It is blotchy for only the first 10 seconds. THIS IS NORMAL with most adaptive bitrate streams like HLS. Because the player starts with the lowest quality stream first to make sure playback is not interrupted and then tests the connection speed and CPU power to find what quality levels wold be appropriate. Then when the chunk has finished it switches to the highest quality level that is playable under the conditions. This happens at a frequency that is determined by the length of the chunks. So therefore, if your chunks are 10 seconds it will play for 10 seconds at low quality before changing up. If you were to change the chunk time to 3 seconds it would only be low quality for 3 seconds.
The above has nothing to do with being viewed on the Edge browser
well to debunk that my video's are not adaptive bitrate only live and this doesn't happen on any of my mac's or pc's or ipads so ur incorrect this is new edge / jw problem
6.12 and 7 have the issue on edge player.. no such issues on safari on mac live / vod u can confirm this by watching on a mac if u so please :)
This is your code and I can clearly see that you are using HLS
<script type='text/javascript'>
var playerInstance = jwplayer("myElement");
playerInstance.setup({
playlist: [{
sources: [{
file: "http://shomistream.hidens.com:80/vod/mp4:Tiesto.mp4/playlist.m3u8"
}]
}],
primary: "flash"
});
var playerInstance2 = jwplayer("myElement2");
playerInstance2.setup({
playlist: [{
sources: [{
file: 'http://shomistream.hidens.com:80/720p/ngrp:slctv_all/playlist.m3u8'
},{
file: 'http://shomistream.hidens.com:1935/720p/ngrp:slctv_all/manifest.f4m'
}],
rtmp: {
securetoken: '85fd7gsdkjgfg68sch87'
}
}],
primary: "flash"
});
</script>
How can you say this is not adaptive
Look at this HLS file
http://shomistream.hidens.com/720p/ngrp:slctv_all/playlist.m3u8
If you download it will show you 3 variant streams
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3

Hello,
Thank you for contacting the support team. We see that you are having issues with your HLS stream. Is there any additional information we can provide. I see Mark has been very helpful. Also, you mentioned that you are awaiting your Premium key. Have you purchased the premium service and have yet to gain access?
