Connecting to Resi

CP Live integrates with Resi to detect active live streams by checking the status of your Resi web channel’s stream manifest. This guide walks you through configuring Resi as your streaming service.

Prerequisites

Before configuring Resi in CP Live:

• An active Resi account with a web channel configured
• Access to your Resi web channel’s embed code and stream profile

Enabling Resi

Resi is disabled by default. To enable it:

1. Navigate to Settings → CP Live → Advanced
2. Set Enable Resi Live to Enable
3. Click Save Changes
4. A new Resi tab appears in the CP Live settings

Finding Your Resi Credentials

Embed ID

1. Log in to your Resi dashboard
2. Navigate to your web channel
3. Open the embed code for your channel
4. Find the data-embed-id value — this is your Embed ID

Stream URL

1. In your Resi dashboard, navigate to your web channel profile
2. Find the Stream URL — it ends in Manifest.mpd
3. Copy the full URL

Configuring Resi in CP Live

1. Navigate to Settings → CP Live
2. Click the Resi tab
3. Configure the following settings:

Setting	Description
Embed ID	Your Resi web channel embed ID
Stream URL	The stream URL ending in Manifest.mpd — used to check stream status
Stream Status	Displays the current stream status (read-only). A status of dynamic indicates an active stream

4. Click Save Changes

How Resi Detection Works

CP Live checks your Resi stream by loading the Manifest.mpd URL and inspecting the manifest type:

• dynamic: The stream is currently active — CP Live sets the site to live
• static or empty: No active stream detected

This check runs during your configured schedule windows at the interval set in Advanced Settings.

Testing Your Configuration

1. Navigate to Settings → CP Live → Advanced
2. Check the Force Pull checkbox
3. Click Save Changes
4. Return to the Resi tab to check the Stream Status field

Troubleshooting

Stream Not Detected

1. Verify the Stream URL is correct and ends in Manifest.mpd
2. Confirm the Embed ID matches your Resi web channel
3. Check that your schedule window covers when you go live
4. Use Force Pull to test detection outside of scheduled times

Embed Not Displaying

1. Verify the Embed ID is entered correctly
2. Check that the Resi web player script is not blocked by your site’s security headers or content security policy
3. Clear any page caches on your site
