HLS bitrates not displayed?

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player › Troubleshooting › HLS bitrates not displayed?

  • Girish M. 2 years, 6 months ago

    I encoded a video with the bitmovin encoder, in 3 bitrates, hls format.
    It plays nicely in the fv player, but the bitrates are not displayed correctly, is there something that I can do about it?
    Thank you for your time!
    Michael

    I attach screenshots of fv player and the bitmovin player, playing the same movie, also a screenshot of what is in the AWS bucket.

    the video is here:

    Hello Girish,

    we actually hide these bitrates on purpose – if the menu shows the video width, height and the bitrate then it’s (in a way) too much information to process for regular uses.

    So we only show the vertical size of the video, like 240p, 480p, 720p, 1080p, 1440p and 2160p. Even that is a bit too technical and we might consider to only show Mobile, SD, HD, FHD, QHD and 4K.

    But I see that in your case there are two 216p resolutions. Perhaps we could show the bitrate in that case, or “high” and “low”.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    I see, it is just a question of what is displayed.
    Indeed, showing the bitrate would be good, because this is the number that will not be duplicate, in contrast to the vertical resolution.
    In my case, for example, I have a video that shows many slides with text, and I plan to reduce the bitrate but not the resolution to keep the text readable. The transitions will be pixelated but the texts will be clear.
    Thank you again for your quick answer!
