To enable live streaming, ensure that the “Live Streaming” plugin is installed and activated. Then, navigate to the live streaming post in your dashboard to configure streaming URLs, player options, and EPG if needed.

The theme supports HLS (.m3u8) and MP4 live stream formats. HLS is recommended for better compatibility and adaptive bitrate streaming.

You can use the external embed feature under the “Live Streaming ” section. Simply paste the embed URL from platforms like YouTube or Vimeo. Make sure the stream is public and embeddable.

Check the following:
The stream URL is correct and live.
The video format is supported (HLS/MP4).
The player settings are configured correctly.
No caching plugin is interfering with real-time streaming.

Yes, you can. The Live Streaming plugin supports VAST and HTML ad formats, including Pre-roll, Mid-roll, and Post-roll ads. Visit the Stream Ad Settings Guide for full configuration.

EPG displays a schedule of upcoming programs for each channel. Enable EPG in settings and assign an EPG ID to each channel. Refer to the EPG Configuration Guide for detailed steps.

Ensure:
EPG is enabled from settings.
Channels have assigned EPG IDs.
A valid schedule is uploaded in the correct format.

In the ad settings, enable the “Ad Skip” toggle and specify the time (in seconds) after which the skip button will appear. This can be configured for Pre-roll, Mid-roll, and Post-roll ads individually.

Use a test VAST URL or tools like Google’s VAST Inspector to verify the ad playback. Also, preview the ad from the dashboard before making it live./p>

Live stream lag is usually due to:
1️⃣ Poor network connection.
2️⃣ Incorrect or low-performance server/CDN.
3️⃣ High-resolution video without adaptive bitrate streaming.
Use a reliable streaming server and test across multiple networks.
