MediaBlaster – Video CMS, IPTV, Podcasts & Streaming Toolkit

Hospedagem WordPress com plugin WP Smart TV

Onde posso hospedar o plugin WP Smart TV?

Este plugin pode ser hospedado em qualquer hospedagem que possua WordPress configurado. Recomendamos optar por uma empresa de hospedagem de confiança, com servidores especializados para WordPress, como o serviço de hospedagem WordPress da MCO2.

Hospedando o plugin WP Smart TV em uma empresa de hospedagem confiável

A MCO2, além de configurar e instalar o WordPress na versão mais atual para seus clientes, disponibiliza o WP SafePress, um sistema exclusivo que assegura e melhora seu site ao mesmo tempo.

Por que a Hospedagem WordPress funciona melhor na MCO2?

A Hospedagem WordPress funciona melhor pois a MCO2 possui servidores otimizados para WordPress. A instalação de WordPress é diferente de uma instalação trivial, pois habilita imediatamente recursos como otimização de imagens, proteção da página de login, bloqueio de atividades suspeitas diretamente no firewall, cache avançado e HTTPS ativado por padrão. São recursos que potencializam seu WordPress para a máxima segurança e o máximo desempenho.

MediaBlaster is the next evolution of WP Smart TV.

Originally launched as WP Smart TV, the plugin helped WordPress users create IPTV-style video feeds for platforms like Roku Direct Publisher. Roku Direct Publisher is discontinued, and the live Roku JSON feed has moved to the separate WP Smart TV – Legacy plugin (https://github.com/rovidxmedia/wp-smart-tv-legacy). MediaBlaster is the forward path for video CMS, players, podcasts, subscriptions, and the /wp-json/mediablaster/v3/ REST API.

That is why WP Smart TV has been renamed and rebuilt as MediaBlaster.

MediaBlaster is a WordPress-powered media CMS for creators, publishers, educators, filmmakers, podcasters, and businesses that want to organize, publish, and monetize video and audio content from one central place.

Use it to build:

• Video libraries
• IPTV-style content catalogs
• Podcast and episode archives
• Membership-based media sites
• Headless WordPress media backends
• Custom video websites
• Roku, mobile, TV, or web app content sources
• AI-assisted media brands and creator platforms

WP Smart TV is now MediaBlaster

If you previously used WP Smart TV, this is the same plugin project moving forward under a new name.

The name has changed because the plugin is no longer focused only on “smart TV” or Roku Direct Publisher workflows. MediaBlaster is designed for the broader media publishing landscape: web video, Vimeo libraries, podcasts, subscriptions, headless WordPress, custom apps, and creator-led media platforms.

Important notes for existing users:

• Existing WP Smart TV content remains supported.
• Existing video post types and metadata are preserved where possible.
• The user-facing name is now MediaBlaster.
• The live Roku Direct Publisher REST feed (/wp-json/tv/roku/) and legacy /wp-json/wpst/v1/ routes are not registered in 3.0.0.
• Roku Direct Publisher admin screens (Roku Settings, Recipes, feed export) have been removed from MediaBlaster.
• If you still need a Roku Direct Publisher JSON feed, use the separate WP Smart TV – Legacy plugin: https://github.com/rovidxmedia/wp-smart-tv-legacy
• New development is focused on MediaBlaster as a modern WordPress media platform (REST API, players, podcasts, subscriptions).

Key Features

Video CMS for WordPress

MediaBlaster adds structured media content management to WordPress, allowing you to organize video content using dedicated media post types and metadata.

Manage:

• Movies
• Episodes
• Series
• Short-form videos
• Video metadata
• Thumbnails
• Captions
• HLS and MP4 video URLs
• Vimeo-connected media
• Legacy video metadata (captions, trickplay, ad breaks) when Legacy Controls are enabled

MediaBlaster Player

MediaBlaster includes a modern HTML5 video player powered by Video.js with a native fallback.

Embed methods (all use the same PHP renderer):

• Shortcode [mediablaster_player] (legacy alias: [tv-video-player])
• Gutenberg block mediablaster/player
• Elementor widget (when Elementor is active)

Features include HLS/DASH/MP4 playback, captions and chapter tracks, subscription-aware locked states, and post-backed source resolution from MediaBlaster video meta.

Vimeo Integration

Vimeo integration is built into the core plugin but disabled by default. Enable it under MediaBlaster → General Settings → Enable Vimeo Integration.

MediaBlaster supports creators and publishers using Vimeo Pro, Business, or other Vimeo-hosted libraries.

Features include:

• Vimeo OAuth connection flow
• Vimeo video URL support
• Vimeo metadata syncing
• Thumbnail importing
• HLS video URL support where available
• Tags, titles, and descriptions
• Guided Vimeo Mass Import workflow
• Review-before-import process

This replaces the older separate Vimeo Extender workflow and brings Vimeo support directly into the core plugin.

Modern Vimeo Mass Importer

The Vimeo Mass Importer has been redesigned to make importing large video libraries easier.

The new importer includes:

• Cleaner card-based interface
• Import readiness status
• Review & Import step
• Collapsed advanced settings
• Loading and progress states
• Better error handling
• Simpler workflow for non-technical users

Podcast & Episode Publishing (Beta)

Podcast support is built into MediaBlaster but disabled by default. Enable it under MediaBlaster → General Settings → Enable Podcasts.

When enabled, MediaBlaster adds:

• Podcast Shows and Podcast Episodes custom post types
• Per-show RSS feeds (Apple Podcasts / Spotify-compatible)
• Public show and episode pages (optional)
• Podcast Settings tab (RSS bases, public URLs, premium teasers when subscriptions are on)
• REST API at /wp-json/mediablaster/v3/podcasts
• Podcast Audio Player — shortcode [mediablaster_audio_player], Gutenberg block mediablaster/audio-player, Elementor widget, and default episode templates

Podcast features are in beta and may change in future releases.

Subscription Foundation

MediaBlaster includes a subscription and entitlement foundation for publishers who want to restrict access to premium content.

Subscription features include:

• Subscription tiers
• Access groups
• Manual subscriber management
• Subscriber access rules
• Subscription-aware video and podcast content controls
• REST API auth and subscriber status endpoints
• Shortcodes for subscribe/account workflows

Subscriptions are disabled by default. Enable early access by adding define( 'WPST_SUBSCRIPTIONS_ENABLED', true ); to wp-config.php, then configure under MediaBlaster → Subscriptions.

Stripe Checkout Support

MediaBlaster includes early Stripe Checkout support for web-based subscriptions.

Stripe features include:

• Stripe hosted checkout
• Stripe billing portal
• Tier-to-Stripe Price ID mapping
• Stripe webhook handling
• Subscription sync tools
• Stripe checkout shortcode
• Public app configuration endpoint

Additional payment provider support is planned for app and platform-based payment workflows.

REST API for Headless and App Builds

MediaBlaster includes a modern REST API foundation under:

/wp-json/mediablaster/v3/

This API is designed for:

• Headless WordPress sites
• Custom front ends
• Mobile apps
• Roku apps
• TV apps
• AI-generated front ends
• Subscriber-aware media apps

The goal is to make WordPress the content hub while allowing developers and creators to build whatever front end they need.

Legacy WP Smart TV Compatibility

MediaBlaster preserves existing WP Smart TV content and metadata, but does not serve the Roku Direct Publisher REST feed in 3.0.0.

Removed in MediaBlaster 3.0.0:

• Live Roku Direct Publisher feed at /wp-json/tv/roku/
• Legacy REST namespace /wp-json/wpst/v1/
• Roku Direct Publisher admin screens (Roku Settings, Recipes, feed export UI)

Still available in MediaBlaster:

• Existing video post types, rovidx_smarttv_* meta, and series structures
• Optional Legacy Controls on General Settings (trickplay/BIF, subtitles, advanced fields, advertising metaboxes)
• Roku JSON import logic (internal; admin Import/Export tab removed — use REST API or the legacy plugin for feed output)
• Internal Roku feed builder class (for compatibility hooks only; not registered as a public REST route)

Need a Roku Direct Publisher JSON feed? Install the open-source legacy plugin maintained separately:

https://github.com/rovidxmedia/wp-smart-tv-legacy

That plugin (WP Smart TV – Legacy, v2.3.0) continues bug-fix support for Roku Direct Publisher workflows. MediaBlaster 3.0.0+ is the forward path for REST API, players, podcasts, and subscriptions.

Shortcodes

MediaBlaster includes shortcodes for displaying and interacting with media content inside WordPress pages and posts.

Available shortcodes include:

• [mediablaster_player] / [tv-video-player] — video player
• [mediablaster_audio_player] — podcast audio player (podcasts enabled)
• [wpst_subscribe] / [wpst_stripe_checkout] — Stripe checkout (subscriptions enabled)
• [wpst_account] — subscriber account and billing portal (subscriptions enabled)

Shortcode availability depends on which features are enabled.

Built-in Documentation

MediaBlaster includes in-plugin documentation inside WordPress admin.

Look for:

MediaBlaster → Docs

Documentation may include setup guides for:

• Vimeo integration
• Subscriptions
• Stripe Checkout
• REST API usage
• MediaBlaster Player and Podcast Audio Player
• Podcast publishing
• Developer references

Vimeo, podcast, and subscription guides appear only when those features are enabled.

Who MediaBlaster Is For

MediaBlaster is built for:

• Video creators
• Podcasters
• Course creators
• Filmmakers
• Churches and ministries
• Educators
• Local media companies
• Niche streaming publishers
• AI content creators
• Agencies building media websites for clients
• Developers building custom app front ends
• Businesses that want a branded media library

If you want WordPress to act as the hub for a media-driven website, video platform, podcast network, or custom streaming app, MediaBlaster is built for that direction.

What MediaBlaster Is Not

MediaBlaster is not a video hosting service.

You still need to host your media files with a proper video host, CDN, Vimeo account, cloud storage provider, or other media delivery system.

MediaBlaster helps you organize, manage, display, structure, and publish your media from WordPress.

Recommended Media Hosting

MediaBlaster works best when paired with a dedicated media hosting solution.

Common options include:

• Vimeo
• Bunny.net
• Cloudflare Stream
• Amazon S3 and CloudFront
• Wasabi
• Custom HLS hosting
• Other CDN-backed media storage

YouTube is generally not recommended for direct video feed workflows because YouTube does not provide the direct HLS or MP4 URLs required for many custom video player and app workflows.

Getting Started

After activating MediaBlaster:

1. Go to MediaBlaster → General Settings.
2. Choose which media features you want to enable (post types, Vimeo, podcasts).
3. If using Vimeo, enable Vimeo Integration and connect your Vimeo app.
4. If using podcasts, enable Podcasts and configure Podcast Settings.
5. Add or import your video or podcast content.
6. Review your content metadata.
7. Use MediaBlaster shortcodes, templates, or REST API endpoints to publish your content.
8. Visit MediaBlaster → Docs for setup guides.

Roadmap

MediaBlaster is being developed as a broader media publishing system for WordPress.

Planned areas of focus include:

• Podcast publishing improvements (currently in beta)
• More REST API endpoints
• Improved headless front-end support
• Better subscription workflows
• Additional payment provider support

Developer Notes

MediaBlaster is designed to support both traditional WordPress sites and headless WordPress builds.

Developers can use the MediaBlaster REST API (/wp-json/mediablaster/v3/), custom post types, metadata, and WordPress theme system to build custom media experiences.

For Roku Direct Publisher JSON feeds specifically, use the legacy plugin at https://github.com/rovidxmedia/wp-smart-tv-legacy. For custom Roku channels or other apps, consume the MediaBlaster v3 REST API.

Potential use cases include:

• Custom WordPress themes
• Next.js front ends
• React Native apps
• Roku apps
• Expo mobile apps
• TV-style interfaces
• Subscriber-only media portals
• AI-generated content sites
• Niche streaming networks
