Upload your media, and the plugin turns it into a 24/7 broadcast-style stream that viewers can tune into at any time. **How it works:** 1. Create a channel (WebTV or WebRadio) 2. Upload video or audio files 3. Files are transcoded into HLS format 4. A 24/7 schedule is generated automatically 5. Embed the player on any page with a shortcode **Key features:** * Create WebTV (video) and WebRadio (audio-only) channels * Weighted random scheduling for varied programming * HLS adaptive bitrate streaming (1080p, 540p, audio-only) * Now-playing display with live program info * Chunked file upload for large media files * Dashboard with channel stats and viewer counts **Shortcodes:** * `[irptvcr_tv_player channel="my-channel"]` – Embed a 24/7 channel video player * `[irptvcr_radio_player channel="my-radio"]` – Embed a 24/7 channel audio player * `[irptvcr_vod_player asset_id="42"]` – Embed a single asset for on-demand playback( with seek) #### Third-Party Service: iReplay.TV **This plugin relies on the iReplay.TV external service for core functionality.** The following data is transmitted to iReplay.TV servers: **Connections made to iReplay.TV (`https://ireplay.tv/api/wp/`):** * **Site registration** – Your site URL, WordPress version, and plugin version are sent when you first configure API credentials. * **Heartbeat** – Every 5 minutes, the plugin sends a heartbeat with your plugin and WordPress versions to confirm the site is active. * **Channel management** – When you create, update, or delete channels, channel metadata (name, handle, description, language) is synced to iReplay.TV. * **Transcoding** – When you upload media, the source file URL is sent to iReplay. TV for transcoding. Transcoded segments are pushed back to your WordPress server. * **Schedule sync** – Every hour, the plugin fetches the current program schedule from iReplay.TV for EPG display. * **Stream tokens** – When a viewer loads the player, a stream token request is proxied through your WordPress server to iReplay.TV. The viewer’s IP address and user agent are forwarded for concurrent viewer enforcement. * **Usage stats** – Daily, the plugin fetches aggregated usage statistics (viewer counts, peak concurrent) from iReplay.TV. **What is NOT sent through iReplay.TV:** * Actual video/audio segment data is served directly from your WordPress server to viewers. iReplay.TV only hosts the HLS playlist files (.m3u8), not the media segments. * No payment or billing information is handled by the plugin. **iReplay.TV service links:** * Service website: [https://ireplay.tv](https://ireplay.tv) * Terms of Service: [https://ireplay.tv/terms](https://ireplay.tv/terms) * Privacy Policy: [https://ireplay.tv/privacy](https://ireplay.tv/privacy) An iReplay.TV account and API credentials are required to use this plugin. A free tier is available (1 channel, 5 concurrent viewers). ## Screenshots [⌊Dashboard showing channels and subscription info⌉⌊Dashboard showing channels and subscription info⌉[ Dashboard showing channels and subscription info [⌊Channel creation form⌉⌊Channel creation form⌉[ Channel creation form [⌊Asset upload with progress bars⌉⌊Asset upload with progress bars⌉[ Asset upload with progress bars [⌊Settings page with API credentials⌉⌊Settings page with API credentials⌉[ Settings page with API credentials [⌊WebTV player embedded on a page⌉⌊WebTV player embedded on a page⌉[ WebTV player embedded on a page [⌊WebRadio player with now-playing info⌉⌊WebRadio player with now-playing info⌉[ WebRadio player with now-playing info ## Installation 1. Upload the `webtv-webradio` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/` 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu 3. Go to **WebTV & Radio > Settings** and enter your iReplay.TV API credentials 4. Click **Test Connection** to verify 5. Create your first channel under **WebTV & Radio > Channels** 6. Upload media files to the channel 7. Use `[irptvcr_tv_player channel="your-handle"]` in any post or page #### Nginx configuration If your WordPress site uses Nginx, add this to your server block for proper HLS segment serving: ``` location ~* /wp-content/uploads/ireplay/.*\.(m4s|ts|mp4|m3u8)$ { add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"; add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=31536000"; } ``` ## FAQ ### Do I need an iReplay.TV account? Yes. The plugin requires API credentials from iReplay.TV to function. A free tier is available with 1 channel and up to 5 concurrent viewers. ### Where are my video files stored? Your original uploads and transcoded HLS segments are stored on your own WordPress server in `wp-content/uploads/ireplay/`. Only the playlist files (.m3u8) are hosted by iReplay.TV. ### What video formats are supported? Any format supported by FFmpeg can be uploaded. Files are transcoded to HLS with H.264 video and AAC audio at multiple quality levels (1080p, 540p, and audio-only). ### Can I have multiple channels? Yes. The number of channels depends on your subscription tier: Free (1), Starter( 3), Pro (10), Business (unlimited). ### How does billing work? Billing is based on concurrent viewer limits, not storage or bandwidth. The free tier allows up to 5 simultaneous viewers. All billing is handled by iReplay.TV. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “iReplay TV Channel and Radio Station” is open source software.

Previously an audio-only upload was sent through the video encoding ladder and always failed, leaving the asset stuck on “Transcoding”. * Assets no longer show “Transcoding” forever when the job has failed. The 5-minute heartbeat now reconciles each pending asset against its real job status and surfaces the error. * New “Retry” action on the asset list for failed or stalled assets. The original file is reused, so there is no need to delete and upload it again. * Audio-only encoding is now chosen from the asset’s own media type rather than the channel type, so an MP3 uploaded to a channel that was not created as a radio station is still handled as audio. * Segment upload tokens now last a week instead of a day. A job that failed and retried over several days used to come back to an expired token and fail on upload, hiding the original error. #### 1.0.13 * New VOD player shortcode: `[irptvcr_vod_player asset_id="42"]` plays a single ready asset end-to-end with native HTML5 seek controls. Useful for blog posts where you want to embed a specific video rather than the 24/7 channel rotation. * Asset list admin: each ready asset now displays its VOD shortcode + master.m3u8 URL (copyable) for use in any HTML player or external embed. * Per-asset playlists and segments are served entirely from the WordPress server via the existing REST proxy (`/wp-json/ireplay/v1/segment?f=…`) — no iReplay. TV dependency at playback time. #### 1.0.12 * Schema self-heal: plugin now checks on every load that its tables exist. If a previous uninstall dropped them, an update or page load auto-recreates them. Prevents the “Table doesn’t exist” wedge that occurred when reinstalling after a delete. * CORS fix for assets: per-asset segment_url_prefix now uses the REST proxy URL(`/ wp-json/ireplay/v1/segment?f=…`) instead of the direct uploads path. Eliminates hls.js fragLoadError when the playlist is served cross-origin (which is the normal case for cloud-hosted plugins). * Schedule auto-retry on heartbeat: if a channel has 4+ ready assets but the schedule hasn’t activated (e.g. initial trigger fired during a race condition with HLS metadata insertion), the next 5-min heartbeat retries generation. Channels self- heal without manual intervention. * Migration on upgrade: existing channels created on prior versions have their asset segment URLs rewritten in place to the proxy form. Existing deployments fix automatically when they update to 1.0.12. * Retry-sync code path now also uses the proxy URL (the 1.0.11 fix only updated create_channel; clicking “Retry Sync” silently reverted to the direct URL). * Daily cleanup cron: orphaned chunked-upload temp directories older than 24h are removed automatically, preventing failed uploads from filling the WP host’s uploads quota. * Better diagnostics: when a local INSERT fails, the actual MySQL error is now surfaced in the admin alert message instead of a generic “Failed to create…”. #### 1.0.11 * Register new channels with the REST proxy URL (`/wp-json/ireplay/v1/segment?f =`) as segment base, so HLS fragments carry CORS headers and play correctly when the playlist is served cross-origin (from iReplay.tv). * Better “Public channel” label: now reads “Allow public visitors to play this channel” with a description explaining what it does (was wrongly described as“ visible in My TV Channel app”). Default is now checked for new channels. * uninstall.php now preserves data by default. Channels/assets/credentials are kept on plugin delete unless the admin explicitly opts in via Settings “Delete all plugin data on uninstall”. Prevents accidental data loss during plugin replacement flows. #### 1.0.10 * Extend admin (edit_posts) bypass to /now-playing and /schedule REST endpoints. Channel admins can now preview Now Playing info and EPG for non-public channels( only /stream/token had the bypass before). #### 1.0.9 * Harden /stream/token permission check: public visitors must now pass both a wp_rest nonce AND request a public (is_public=1) channel; authenticated editors (edit_posts) bypass the public check so admin/block-editor previews still work for non-public channels (WordPress.org review compliance) #### 1.0.8 * Rename all plugin identifiers to use the unified `irptvcr` / `IRPTVCR_` prefix— functions, classes, defines, options, hooks, transients, REST handlers, CSS classes, JS globals, admin page slugs, and shortcodes (WordPress.org review compliance for consistent prefixing) * Shortcodes renamed: [irptvcr_tv_player] (was [ireplaytv_player]) and [irptvcr_radio_player]( was [ireplayradio_player]) * wp-config.php constants renamed: IRPTVCR_API_KEY, IRPTVCR_API_SECRET (were JEWEBTV_*) #### 1.0.7 * Rename shortcodes to [ireplaytv_player] and [ireplayradio_player] to use distinct, conflict-resistant prefixes * Add channel visibility checks (is_active + is_public) to /now-playing and /schedule REST endpoints #### 1.0.6 * Align text domain with assigned plugin slug (ireplay-tv-channel-radio) * Add sanitize_callback to all registered settings * Harden /stream/token REST endpoint with nonce check, channel visibility check, and per-IP rate limit #### 1.0.0 * Initial release * WebTV and WebRadio channel support * Chunked media upload with progress * HLS transcoding via iReplay.TV * Shortcode-based player embedding * Now-playing info with live polling * Admin dashboard with channel stats ## Meta * Version **1.0.14** * Last updated **3 weeks ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 5.9 or higher ** * Tested up to **6.9.5** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [Fast](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/fast/)[live streaming](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/live-streaming/) [Radio station](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/radio-station/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ireplay-tv-channel-radio/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
