Question

Streaming multi bit rate and single bit rate

I'm trying to simplify my setup.  Sometimes I need to stream multi bit rate and sometimes I need to stream single bit rate.  This is due to the internet connections I'm sending from sometimes have poor upstream and multi-bit rate is too much bandwidth to send... So....  We resort to single bitrate.  As I understand my encoder and server settings are different for each of these...  I created a single and multi-bitrate profile for Adobe Media Encoder.  That was simple enough.  My question/concern is in regards the server settings.  I would like to have a server setting for multi-bitrate and a setting for single bit rate.  My goal is to void making changes  on the server.  I simply want to load the desired Adobe Media Encoder Profile.  So, do I need to create a dedicated event for single bitrate?  Below is the syntax I send to my server from Adobe Live Encoder.  Instead of using 'liveevent' for my event would I just give it a different name?  Does this stand true for my .m3u8 files?  I'm confused to how to name differnet event/streams.... 

livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-record-mode=record

    Hi,

    When you use a setting like: livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent then the encoder expects multibitrate streams (the %i is replaced by a number so the streams published will be livestream1, livestream2 and livestream3). You cannot use the same setting in the encoder for single stream. Instead you'll have to use livestream?adbe-live-event=<event_name>. You could create a new event under the same application.

    Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other queries.

    Thanks,

    Thanks for your reply.  I'll change my syntax to  livestream?adbe-live-event=singlebitrate

    Is there anything else I have to do on the server side?
