Broadcast Live 24x7
24x7 streams as media in JW Player
Broadcast Live 24x7 streams are available as media items in the JW Dashboard. Those media items can be grouped into JW Player playlists, and these playlists can be registered as feeds in Applicaster.
Broadcast Live will automatically add and update the media items with custom fields in JW Player. Manually added fields do not get overwritten by Broadcast Live.
Important
When using Broadcast live Chromecast does not work out of the box. It is neccessary to use the ?format=chromecast appendix when requesting the live manifests. Applicaster can enable this in their middleware, please reach out to your Applicaster CSM.
Media types in Zapp
