Bandwidth Check (bwCheck) and Bitrate

Question

Hi All,we are using RTMP with Flowplayer with dynamic bitrate switching and I'm a bit confused on the bitrate (kbps) that is called out in the code in order to configure the bandwidth check.  I presume that this is the target bitrate if encoding using ABR or constant.  How about for the rest of us that are using CRF?  My understanding is that CRF is the way to go now for H264 (don't want to hijack the thread to a CRF vs ABR discussion).  If we are using CRF, can we guess on the target bitrate that is called out in the bwcheck plugin?  does it really matter?thanks!Randall

I am not expert on encoding and never used Flowplayer so dont know what do you mean by bwcheck plugin - but if you are talking about Dynamic Streaming

using FMS as server , the way it works is that publisher publishes set of streams - say 3 streams each having different bitrate and client using Flash Player API's decides on bandwidth available between client and server , chooses best possible stream.

I dont know whether i have answered your question - but thought would just drop in reply in case if this helps
