a master playlist, enter the master playlist name. A group may consist
of multiple streams with different bit rates and the Flash player will
switch between available streams to provide the best viewing
experience.
When using this page to create a group, you must put the highest bit rate
stream first (at the top of the list). This is the first stream the client will
try to play. You will typically have more than one HLS stream
referencing the same Master Playlist Name. If this stream is not part
of a master playlist, leave this field blank.
stream. If not filled in, Stream Name is used.
Master Playlists for multiple bit rate streams require the bandwidth of
each individual stream to be included in the Master Playlist. For
example, if the stream is sourced from a Vbrick H.264 encoder, the
DME will detect the bandwidth associated with each multiple bit rate
stream. For non-Vbrick encoders, enter the bandwidth value (in Kbps)
associated with the stream. In general, use this field only if the encoder
does not supply a bandwidth value. Be aware that if used, this value will
override the encoder-supplied value.
