Dynamic Bitrate Switching
Flowplayer configuration
This demo uses our bwcheck plugin and it is configured here for dynamic stream switching with the Wowza 2 media servers that HDDN uses. When you go fullscreen it will switch to a file with larger dimensions if you have enough bandwidth to support the required bitrate of the larger file.
You can also use the current version of the bwcheck plugin, but dynamic stream switching is not supported yet.
