    Hi Maria

    FMS would be able to serve video of the appropriate bit rate suiting a client's bandwidth only after the server gets to know the current BW conditions under which the client is operating. Hence we would need to build a client which uses the capabilities of flash player to check the bandwidth conditions and quality of service and inform the server what bit rate video it would need. So yes you would need to write the client to use the dynamic streaming capabilities.

    There is also a ready sample player at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashmediaserver/articles/live_dynstream_dvr.html . You could customize it as per your needs too or use it as it is.

    It is really simple to use. Do let me know if you need any help in using the client.
