Introducing MCP Video

MediaCP Video is our new comprehensive video streaming engine with Live Streaming, Video on Demand, Relay, and TV Station capabilities, included free with every MediaCP video license. This powerful engine features advanced functionality including referrer validation and automatic recording capabilities. MediaCP Video provides content creators with a complete, built-in streaming solution that’s recommended for all video delivery needs.

No Additional License Required

MediaCP Video offers the same features and functionality as other video integrations with higher stability and no added license cost. Other video integrations are expensive, and the licensing structure makes them difficult to run economically for providers managing many services. MediaCP Video covers live streaming, VOD, TV channels, relay, ABR, recording, simulcasting, domain and country locking, webhooks, rewind, and historical reporting all included and directly integrated with the Media Control Panel. For most streaming workloads, that is everything you need.

Highly Performant & Stable

MediaCP Video is deeply integrated into the Media Control Panel, purpose-built with stability and reliability at its core. Unlike other video integrations that rely on APIs, every component is developed and maintained in-house meaning fewer points of failure, faster updates, and no dependency on external platforms.

Key improvements over Nginx-Rtmp include a static RTMP ingest URL for consistent, predictable streaming, along with improved automatic player reconnection, so viewers stay connected without interruption.

Service Types

  • Live Streaming handles RTMP ingest from OBS, Wirecast, or any broadcast encoder and delivers HLS output to viewers. Adaptive Bitrate (ABR) is supported, so the stream degrades gracefully on poor connections rather than breaking.
  • Video On Demand lets you upload and manage a pre-recorded library alongside your live streams. The same panel handles both.
  • TV Stations let you mix live feeds and VOD content into a scheduled linear channel useful for IPTV services or white-label TV products.
  • Video Relay is the practical tool for IP cameras. Point it at any RTSP stream and it repackages the feed for web delivery. No extra software. The diagram above shows how a single camera feed becomes a live embed, an automatic recording, and a scheduled TV channel in one step.

Simulcasting

Push a single broadcast to multiple destinations simultaneously YouTube, Facebook, Twitch custom RTMP endpoints with full control over each target. Live status updates for stream targets show connection health in real time without requiring page reloads.

ABR Transcoding

MediaCP Video offers support for Video Transcoding allowing you to broadcast live video in multiple qualities to your audience, saving on bandwidth while delivering the best possible quality streams to each user’s specific device.

Webhooks

MediaCP Video includes powerful webhooks giving you real-time event-driven notifications and the ability to automate your operations. Proactively notify your team when broadcasts go offline. Celebrate going live by posting directly to your social media channels.

Rewind/DVR

Rewind is supported, letting viewers seek back through a live stream without waiting for it to end. DVR is configurable to allow setting a custom number of minutes that rewind should be allowed for.

Recording

This feature enables seamless archival of live events, webinars, and streaming content without manual intervention or third-party recording solutions. Recorded content can then be scheduled on TV Stations or VOD.

Player

MediaCP Video uses a modern player that can be directly embedded on websites for more seamless integration. Auto-play, automatic retry on stream drop, and customisable offline message are all configurable per service.

The VOD player includes a playlist sidebar that lets viewers browse and select content from a library. The VOD Player sidebar is hidden by default with a toggle button for a clean, user-friendly playlist selection.

Historical Reporting

MediaCP Video supports advanced historical reporting with a modern and dynamic VueJS front-end with loading of data on a per-tab basis allowing for a quick and responsive feel. The interface features sortable data tablesexport buttons, and dynamically loaded data available across many of the reports. 

Stream Security

Domain Lock restricts a live stream or VOD asset to approved domains using CORS headers and referrer validation. Requests that don’t originate from a whitelisted domain are rejected before reaching the player. Country Locking is also available per service allowing for restriction based on region
