looks like bwcheck to me. i'd just use p_bw in a condition where p_bw is detected bandwidth.
if p_bw is less than than x play stream1, else if p_bw is greater than x and less than y play stream2, else play stream3. ie. stream1=56kbps; stream2=150kbps; stream3=300kbps; i usually run the bwcheck on an interval several times and get an average bw figure to go by and even dynamically change streams-- you can do it seemlessly by bookmarking ns.time and seeking to it once new stream has loaded. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Brian Weil Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2006 12:38 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: [Flashcoders] VitalStream Bandwidth detection Does anybody have code to detect users bandwidth on VitalStream? I'm using the custom player source provided by vitalstream but it only works with single bitrate streams. When I try to use a multi bitrate stream as the sname parameter in the m_XMLURI string the player fails. Looking through the source code I found some clues as to why it is not working, but don't have a lot of time to debug the code and find the solution. I've been working with VitalStream support on this and they are no help at all. They sent me links to an irrelevent adobe tutorial as their solution. Here is a fragment of code from that player that hints about bandwith detection but also says it is not used?!!? [code] //the server calls this object to continue (auto bandwidth detection is complete) this["nc"+i].onBWDone = function(p_bw) { trace("onBWDone: "+p_bw); //we pass the successful netConnection and the calculated bandwidth speed to // the onconnected function to continue this.mc.onConnected(this, p_bw); }; m_payload = 0; //this function is not currently used; it is for checking bandwidth speed // initiated by the server this["nc"+i].onBWCheck = function() { trace("onBWCheck returning: "+(this.mc.m_payload+1)); return ++this.mc.m_payload; }; [/code] So my question is: Does anybody have a working (multi-bitrate streams) example of a video player for the VitalStream content delivery system? They have players that work with multi-bitrate streams in .swf format but do not release the flv source for those players. Any help would be appreciated. A working .fla example would be priceless!
