HLS Labels

Hi I am trying to set the HLS Labels in the options.

However, every bitrate or parameter I try doesn't match. I'm wondering if it's the manifest file. Can you have a look and see if this will work?

I believe the NAME parameter will do the trick:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=1600000,RESOLUTION=1280×720,NAME=“720p HD”
1280/prog_index.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=832000,RESOLUTION=640×360,NAME=“360p SD”
640/prog_index.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=320000,RESOLUTION=320×180,NAME=“180p 3G”
320/prog_index.m3u8

Yes, but the label overrides are also meant to work.

"By default, the JW Player will set video quality levels using information from the manifest files. Use this configuration option to apply a custom quality label to a desired bandwidth in kbps. For example:"

From http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1413113-configuration-options-reference

However, when trying this. I could not get it to work.

Are you positive you’re using kb in your labels?
1600000 b = 1600 kb
832000 b = 832 kb
320000 b = 320 kb

Yeah that's not working correctly.

What are you matching on in the manifest for this?

Hi Cooper,

Tried this as well based on my manifest and that still doesn't work.

hlslabels:{
high: 1300,
medium: 969,
low: 386
},

The documentation is wrong. The KBPS should appear first, then the label:

hlslabels:{
1300: "high",
969: "medium",
386: "low"
},
