Forgive me if this is a repost, I tried to post this recently, but it didn't appear to work...
I'm wondering if
a) the jwflv namespace for RSS playlists has anything comparable to the media:group tag which allows for bitrate switching
b) i can define & use both the jwflv & media namespaces in one playlist
I don't think there is a "jwflv" namespace.
Are you talking about the jwplayer namespace?
Like this:

Is this how you wanted to use the jwplayer namespace and the media:content element in a MediaRSS playlist?
