 * I want to customize the message shown when a stream or video is not available.
   I simply do not want the full URL to the stream or video to be displayed in the
   error message. Only that the stream is currently not available. What is the best
   way to accomplish this?

 * You can hide the URL with this CSS
 *     ```
       .is-error .fp-message p {
       	display: none;
       }
       ```

 * This worked to remove the message. Is it possible to customize or show an alternate
   message? If so how is this done? It would be great if some of these features 
   were already in the plugin configuration menu to make it easier to change the
   settings.

 * Here is an example how you could customize the error message. [http://demos.flowplayer.org/api/live-check.html](http://demos.flowplayer.org/api/live-check.html)
   
   The error codes are explained here: [https://flowplayer.org/docs/api.html#error-codes](https://flowplayer.org/docs/api.html#error-codes)
 * I will be adding a JS variable that you can extend and customize the messages.
   I don’t plan to add this to the configuration menu as it is beyond the scope 
   of the plugin. If you were using the basic Flowplayer JavaScript you would need
   to extend it.
 * I will let you know once the next version is released. I still have a few things
   I need to improve before I can release it.
