Offline Stream Detection Demo

provides the ability to detect the stream status when loading the stream for the viewer. If the stream is offline, the player shows an image or a message for the viewer.

This feature is very helpful in many ways. For live events, this feature proves very useful to show an image if the live event did not start yet. From a user-experience perspective, it is much better to display an image stating the stream is offline rather than showing the user a weird technical error message.
