    Hi Adam !(appreciate much your earlier responses from WPCraft blog.)

    Good work…

    I am quite confused with online descriptions of various WordPress player plugins, so need help.

    1. Can Presto also be embedded in blogger.com page, just as for WP ?
    Any helpful links will be appreciated.

    2. Noob here, but it is frustrating to see that big names like JWP (expensive + BW charges + no YouTube support) don’t seem to play my remote m3u/8 combo playlist URL, or this kind of public IPTV one (both play fine in VLC or smartIPTV chrome extension):

    https://iptv-org.github.io/iptv/countries/ca.m3u

    (Doesn’t play in https://hls-js.netlify.app/demo/ or https://developer-tools.jwplayer.com/stream-tester/ )

    3. Is this an m3u to m3u8 conversion issue your WP plugin might support? (Should be simple.)

    4. Does your player support YouTube https URLs, or some m3u/8 conversion (e.g., streamlink/ liveproxy or VLC conversion of YouTube http URL Network Stream input to Codec Info link (bottom box) saved to a m3u playlist ?)

    By above, I mean YouTube/Vimeo links included in an m3u/8 playlist URL.

    Cheers,
    Shippy.

    Hi Shippy,

    Thanks for reaching out. Happy to help.

    Presto Player is for WordPress only, so it won’t work on Blogger.

    2. Noob here, but it is frustrating to see that big names like JWP (expensive + BW charges + no YouTube support) don’t seem to play my remote m3u/8 combo playlist URL, or this kind of public IPTV one (both play fine in VLC or smartIPTV chrome extension):

    Presto Player Pro supports HLS streams. However, they need to be .m3u8 (which is UTF-8 Encoded).

    3. Is this an m3u to m3u8 conversion issue your WP plugin might support? (Should be simple.)

    Our plugin doesn’t do any sort of video conversion, but you should be able to do this with an online converter.

    4. Does your player support YouTube https URLs, or some m3u/8 conversion (e.g., streamlink/ liveproxy or VLC conversion of YouTube http URL Network Stream input to Codec Info link (bottom box) saved to a m3u playlist ?)

    It’s a wrapper around the Youtube Player Iframe. One huge benefit is you still get view stats for your videos on Youtube.

    Hi There,

    It’s not something that’s currently supported in our player, but we hope to add more live streaming capabilities in the future.

    Hi Andre,

    Think I recognize your name from VLC forums. ??

    1. So does your video player support the Linux pipe command ( in Linux installs of course) within the m3u8 playlist URL file?

    Are these pipe commands recognized by m3u8 players in general within the m3u8 playlists on Linux?

    I ask because if yes, then Streamlink 2.0+ should take care of m3u8 + YouTube http link streaming (and YouTube/other http /m3u8 link changes every few hours.)

    2. Or how about this streamlink liveproxy wrapper ?

    Will the new m3u8 playlist be usable by your player?

    Is it auto updated or a cron job would be required?

    3. Else, if your player supports YouTube http URLs or YouTube m3u8 links (with auto updates) and other live TV m3u8 links in the same playlist, then no need for above !

    Cheers ??,
    Shippy.
