implemented bitrate switching for rtmp/http/video

 
See: http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/FlashFormats#BitrateSwitching

thanks lost,

But example is for http, difference with rtmp ?

here is code used for demo adobe application, it's same with jw player ?

Hello,

After some test and search in wiki, I have found how to create xml for streaming bitrate but I have couple of question related on flashvar:

how to use "level", "bandwidth" and "with" ?
I have tryed to put in index.html but no difference with and without

here is setting:

and

Can you explain how to setup corectly ?

another strange effect, if I delete "level" it's always the little file playing (ASEPTA Vitacitral_150kbps_180.mp4)
why ? my connection work fine with 1500kbps...

I use FMS 3.5 for test

Thanks

 
I think you need to read a bit more carefully.

The flashvars level, bitrate, and width are READ-ONLY, therefore they are not used anywhere in the player embedding code.

If you want to monitor the three flashvars, use the QualityMonitor plugin or a function like this:

      function playerReady(obj)
      {
        player = gid(obj.id);
        addListeners();
      };

      function addListeners()
      {
        playlist = player.getPlaylist();

        if(playlist.length > 0)
        {
          player.addModelListener('META',       'metaMonitor');
          player.addControllerListener('ITEM',  'itemMonitor');
          itemMonitor({index:0});
          <strong>bitrateSwitchingMonitor();</strong>
        }
        else
        {
          setTimeout("addListeners();", 100);
        }
      };

      var meta = '';
      function metaMonitor(obj)
      {
        meta += '<br />META Data:<br />';

        for(var j in obj)
        {
          meta += j + ': ' + obj[j] + '<br />';

          if((j == 'info') && (obj[j] == 'NetConnection.Connect.Closed'))
          {
            player.sendEvent('NEXT');
//alert('NetConnection.Connect.Closed');
          }
        }

        gid('meta').innerHTML = meta;
      };

      function itemMonitor(obj)
      {
//alert('itemMonitor - index: ' + obj.index);
        gid('streamer').innerHTML = 'Current Index: ' + obj.index + '<br />Current Streamer: ' + player.getPlaylist()[obj.index].streamer + '<br />Current File: ' + player.getPlaylist()[obj.index].file + '<br />Current Type: ' + player.getPlaylist()[obj.index].type;
      };

<strong>      function bitrateSwitchingMonitor()
      {
        gid('bitrate').innerHTML = '<br />Bitrate Switching:<br />Width: ' + player.getConfig().width + '<br />Level: ' + player.getConfig().level + '<br />Bandwidth: ' + player.getConfig().bandwidth;
        setTimeout("bitrateSwitchingMonitor();", 20000);
      };</strong>

      function chapterSelect(chapter)
      {
        player.sendEvent('ITEM', chapter);
      };

      function gid(name)
      {
        return document.getElementById(name);
      };
    </script>

Anyway, you have to use a v4.6.374 player and using a playlist with RTMP in the v4.6.374 player seems to be broken. So wait for the Longtail Video developers to fix it.

Thanks Lost for this,

I tried this with jwplayer REV 381:

I don't see result of javascript script.
There is always the little video who is playing

What's wrong ?

Thanks again

hi have same problem as ilanb.
but if i try anything whit JWplayer v4.6.450 and swfobject.js from same distribution have alltime JS error:
SWFObject is not defined

Hi ilanb,

Were you able to get bandwidth switching with rtmp?

Best Regards

Jose
