Question

I would like to know how to 'not show' my jwplayer when noactive rtmp connections. I have a page setup in wordpress but only want to show active video player(s) when they come online?

For jwplayer 6 you can use jwplayer().onError to check if stream is not active, and show an image/video/text error message to user. You can add setTimeout() to try every x seconds to reload page. You can also manipulate your DOM inside jwplayer().onError to hide player or show another div with a message.
