Description

Adds shortcode support for embedding Silverstream TV media players. Shortcodes can be included in your posts and pages to quickly and easily embed Silverstream TV hosted content such as video, audio, live streams and presentations.

Basic Usage

Most basic example:
[sstv_video media=\]
with \ substituted for the media’s ID string which can be found at the end of URLs

For example a video with this URL https://video.silverstream.tv/view/pqz4cPvk can be embedded with:
[sstv_video media=pqz4cPvk]

Advanced Usage

Several other optional attributes are supported to allow you to customise the size of the player as well as different behaviours.
