New Player - get online status?

[jzisser9]

Hi, first off, great job on the new interactive player - it's a huge step forward.

Is there a way to detect whether a player's channel is online or offline? I see the "isEnded()" method but it returns false, even for offline channels. I'm guessing this is only set to "true" if a channel goes from online to offline during the lifetime of the player.

Additionally, is there an event listener for when a streamer goes online?

Any leads ?

You can use the streams endpoint to detect if a channel is live or not.

That's what I'm currently using, but there's a noticeable delay between noticing the stream go offline in an embedded player and the API returning that fact. Being able to grab this info from the player - maybe based on whether or not the embedded player is playing something - would be better.

@Argus9 : I've noticed the same too. I tried to fetch contents of the channel's url and parsed it to see if there's any difference while the channel is live and when it's offline. But couldn't find any.

Closing issue; you can use addEventListener to detect when a stream comes online or goes offline.
