How to refresh JW player for Live streaming?

Question

Currently user refreshes the entire web page when ever the stream get struck. This adds load to web server as the page has to be served again.

Instead, I want the user to click a button "Refresh Stream" so that JW player reloads/refreshes again with the same live and doesn't refresh the entire page

I want through JS API but I am not sure what JW player event to trigger on "Refresh Stream" button click.

Sure, make a link on your page like this:

<a href="#" onclick="jwplayer().load('my_stream.m3u8');jwplayer().play();>Refresh Stream</a>
