Akamai single stream with multiple levels
Hi,
Rather than using Akamai's multi bitrate i'm trying to just give the users a choice of "HD" and "non-HD". If i have a single file playlist or a single file it works fine:
bc.. jwplayer('videoPlayer').setup({
id: 'videoPlayer',
playlist:[{
file: 'http://sympoz-vh.akamaihd.net/z/650-high.mp4/manifest.f4m',
provider: 'http://players.edgesuite.net/flash/plugins/jw/v2.11/jw6/AkamaiAdvancedJWStreamProvider.swf',
type:'mp4'
}],
primary: 'flash'
});
When i try to use levels instead i get "No suitable players found and fallback enabled".
bc.. jwplayer('videoPlayer').setup({
id: 'videoPlayer',
playlist:[{
levels: [
{ bitrate: 300, file: "http://sympoz-vh.akamaihd.net/z/650-low.mp4/manifest.f4m" },
{ bitrate: 900, file: "http://sympoz-vh.akamaihd.net/z/650-high.mp4/manifest.f4m" }
],
provider: 'http://players.edgesuite.net/flash/plugins/jw/v2.11/jw6/AkamaiAdvancedJWStreamProvider.swf',
type:'mp4'
}],
primary: 'flash',
i believe i also tried moving the provider code inside of each level but that gave me the same result. I've also added width to the level but doesn't seem to change anything. i'm definitely doing something wrong. This is all in my testing environment so i can't link out right now but can look into pushing it out if necessary.
thanks
