Live Streaming - MPEG-DASH

Hello everyone,
I dont know whether its possible or not, or im asking a wrong question!

I wanted to configure bitrate streaming with dash, but the problem is that what i could generate on my rtmp configuration was, 4 "separate" live "mpd" playlist files with different qualities.

I was wondering that can i use those 4 different "mpd" files, and give it player so that user can manually choose which live dash playlist ?

something like mp4 but with giving "mpd" files instead of mp4 files
"sources": [{"file": 'http://test/240p.mp4', "default": true, "type": "mp4"},
{"file": 'http:///test/360p.mp4', "type": "mp4"},
{"file": 'http://test/480p.mp4', "type": "mp4"},
{"file": 'http://test/720p.mp4', "type": "mp4"}],

Hello,

Are you simply trying to replicate live streaming with an adaptive nature or you want the ability for the user to be able to manually toggle between various sources within the embed?

Hello Randy,
It would be great if dash with adaptive bitrate streaming was configurable on my server.im not really sure about this, but since im restreaming live contents using RTMP module on nginx, it seems that i cant make a single playlist file which includes all qualities and other playlists in that single file and after struggling with my configuration i was able to create separate playlist for each quality and bitrate. so i came up to ask that if it is possible to give, for example those 4 different mpd playlists to the player so that instead of being adaptive, users could select qualities manually from the player (just like mp4 files).

Hello,

To be honest with you i have never really tried a multiple sources setup with various MPD files in the player. Can you send me 3-4 links of these files so that I can try this on my end and confirm?

Hello,

I have confirmed on my end that this does not work at the moment within our player. I also had a word with our engineering team as well that manual switching of qualities is not supported for DASH. So it took so long to get this back to you. At the moment it is not something in the immediate pipeline but they are aware of the request. Thank you for bringing this up.
