How can I give the end user via the player the ability to switch the source
of a multi-source stream using an .asx file. Also, how can I give them the
ability to switch bitrates. MBR doesn't work. Hardly ever does with my
streamed videos.

This is from a server posting reply regarding bitrates

THANKS! I tried each bitrate in this form
mms://streamingserver/video/content?WMBitRate=111 but they all come out at
80kbps. What am I doing wrong and is there a way to give the end user the
option of choosing via some buttons or links in the WMP itself?

And why doesn't MBR work with my video. It works 1 time out very 100 with
video and about 1/4 of the time with just an audio stream?

I have large and growing catalog of media that's all
been encoded using MBR.
Often, most of the time frankly, when bandwidth isn't
sufficient, the lower
bitrate connection doesn't kick in. How can I give the
end user the ability
to force a lower bitrate connection?

Can you specify WMBitrate=112000 (slightly higher than
111000) and see if that works? The WMBitrate parameter has
to be specified in bits per second, you seem to mention
kbps when you state just 111.

Thx,
Ravi

Yes, thanks. I had to add three zeros on the end. This is very good. I
really appreciate it. Do you think I can program something that can show up
in the player to allow them to pick or switch the rate?
