Seek to live


I would like to be able to seek the player to live, during a live stream event. Basically when the user unpauses the player, I would like him to resume at 'live' position. This is for mobile, especially the iPhone.

I am using jwplayer 7.2.2

Thanks.

Hi, there!

I believe that is the default behavior of our player, to resume playback of live streams at the live position, unless the stream is a DVR stream.

Can you please give me a link to a page where you have the affected player installed?

Unfortunately I cannot provide a link, but I have a question for you: Is there any solution for a DVR enabled stream? I tried reloading the file, which kind of works, but it feels a bit hacky.

Hi, there!

I do not know of any solutions for doing this on a DVR stream because DVR streams are usually enabled to allow users to pause the content if they need to leave the room for a minute and be able to come back and resume from where they left off.

Ok, thank you very much Alex for your replies. One last question: the stream is DVR enabled, but I don't see the slider-time in the controlbar, but rather the "Live Broadcast" label. Any guesses as why this happens?

Hi, there!

Without seeing a live example, it would be hard for me to tell for use, but you may want to make sure you have ?DVR at the end of your stream’s URL.

Please let me know if that resolves your issue. Thanks.
