Adaptive Streaming with Different Video Quality


How to do adaptive streaming that automatically serves different video quality (320/480/720p), if video provided in my hosting is only 1 video?
So if i provide 720p video, can jwplayer somehow automatically serve the 320p & 480p?
Maybe with the paid license?

Thank you.

Adaptive streaming is supported in the player with the Premium edition license. JW Platform will also automatically transcode all the videos you upload and provide you with an HLS stream URL with the Premium edition.

You can view all of the features available in each license edition on our pricing page. Also check out our Hosting, Usage, and JW Platform article.

So the adaptive conversion is done on the fly?
That means the server does not need special requirement.

Thank you

Our platform will transcode the videos you host directly with us. After you upload a video to the dashboard, you can click on the video to be directed to it’s Content Detail page. Click on the Sources tab on that page to access the various conversion and adaptive stream URLs.
If you are hosting your videos on your own servers you must set that up with your service provider.

"After you upload a video to the dashboard".
Do you mean i must upload video to jwplayer dasboard to use adaptive streaming?

That means adaptive playing does not work if i upload the video to my own server?

Thank you.

Our player supports HLS, RTMP, and DASH files no matter where they are hosted. You can host your own HLS streams on your server and our Premium edition player will play them. Check out our Media Format Reference for information on all supported formats.
