"Live" only logo for a wowza stream...

I'm trying to add a live logo (image) to a JW player. I see I can do it with the "logo" customization, however that shows up when offline and online from a wowza stream.

Is there a way to display a logo in the same way, but have it not show up when the stream that the player is connected to is offline?


At the same time, if the stream is offline, is it possible to show a "poster" image and not have the error display?

I guess I'm looking for sample code, as I can't seem to figure these two things out.

Thanks!

Yes... indeed something like that... plus hide the logo... which I can't seem to get to hide once its set.

This is working fine. So you do not want the logo to show up in the player when the stream is down? That is not currently possible.

Too bad... ok... so is it possible to just show a poster image while offline rather than a video?

Ethan,

Is there a workaround that you would suggest? Perhaps a different way to show the "live" icon?

Why do you not want to show an icon?

Ethan,

Its really just when the steam is not online... showing a "live" logo doesn't make much sense :)

So its really two fold....

1. I'd like to show an image when the stream is offline... and when the stream is paused when live, have the image shown something different.

2. The "logo" icon we've been using is a live image... so that doesn't make sense to show when offline :)

Thoughts?

The best way to do this would be this would be to set up two players then based on streaming or not.

And manually change them? Or use code to determine which to show?

Got it... ok... on the other code you sent over.

is this how it should look:

<script src="http://jwpsrv.com/library/nMZeyLWyEeOAlSIACi0I_Q.js"></script>

<div id='playerFzmSQlxSXdHP'></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
jwplayer('playerFzmSQlxSXdHP').setup({
file: 'http://192.31.132.186/medium/ngrp:money20_medium/playlist.m3u8',
image: 'http://flipit-sage.s3.amazonaws.com/offline.jpg',
title: 'Money 2.0 Livestream',
width: '640',
height: '360',
autostart: 'true',
primary: 'flash',
ga: '{}'
});

jwplayer().onBuffer(function(){
theTimeout = setTimeout(function(){
jwplayer().load({file:"http://sage-jwplayer.s3.amazonaws.com/Offline.mp4",image:"http://flipit-sage.s3.amazonaws.com/offline.jpg"});
jwplayer().play();
},5000);
});

</script>

Hi again Ethan,

It does seem to catch when its offline... but once the stream goes back online, nothing....
