Question
multibit streams
Please help, I'm an AV person (not a programmer or server
manager) used to using Windows Media Server, which is a doddle to
do streaming video. I have now been given Flash Media Server to
make our video sources more compatable.
In the first instance I am trying to set up a live feed in Flash Media Live encoder and named the stream - webcam2
I have then created a player in flash using myVideo, and have set the source to rtmp://<server address>/live/webcam2
This works fine. However, if I make it multibitrate and add two extra streams, it asks me to add the extension %i to the end in live encoder. What do I need to give as the content path in flash to make it pick up either one of the multibit rate streams OR automatically select the best bandwidth option?
I have tried various URLs for the source including: /webcam2%i, /webcam21, /webcam2stream1, /webcam2%1
but cannot get it to pick up a stream.
Thanks.
