Resume live stream after it was paused

Many videojs users report a trouble with resuming live stream once it was paused after some time. We also experienced the same issue. Once a live stream paused, after some time it's impossible to resume it and continue to play and you must reload website page to play again.

We have checked the JWPlayer and found that it reconnects live stream every time when it was paused and resumed to play.

So we've decided to include an option to Nuevo plugin and force videojs player to work same like JWPlayer. You need to enable new option to reconnect live stream on each resume action.

<script>
   var player = videojs("my_player");
   player.nuevo({ liveReconnect:true });
</script>

We also included public function to reconnect stream manually. It is simple to use:

<script>
   var player = videojs("my_player");
   player.reconnect();
</script>

All demos on Nuevodeve.com website now use the latest video.js player version 7.11.0, released November 16, 2020.
