I'd like to include a BOTR file in an xml file. I'm guessing my content line is wrong. See below.

What is the way to include a BOTR file in an xml or smil file?

Hello,


Why you don't use the playlist interface in the dashboard , it will help you to build the playlist.

If its not possible a simple no is fine. Here is what I want to do, please show me the way.

PREFACE
I use the BOTR server due to its ability to offer streams suited to the client.

GOAL
I want to offer two versions of a single uploaded BOTR video. One that plays completely and a second that plays for a shorter time, 2 minutes.

RESULTS
Good- To play the complete file I simply link to the .js file
Bad- To play a 2 min excerpt I can use the playlist feature to generate an mp4 file that I can link to. This is bad because it offers a large file regardless of the clients browser, connection etc. I've experienced too many mid-video delays while the video loads, regardless of the connection, os, etc.

The reason I assume that I'm delivered the same video to all is that the playlist generates this video linking to an mp4 file
<enclosure url=" video.joomlarulez.com/videos/awQTHuWC-0UIhlOUh.mp4 " length="61735447" type="video/mp4"/>

WHAT I PREFER
I'd like to offer a 2 min excerpt of a .js file. I'd like to do this with XML if possible. My efforts to date have yielded no results. See partial xml example below.

Thanks
Tom

Hello,

1 - so no you can not put a js file link in an xml file.

2 - if you absolutely want to build an xml file playlist without used our server playlist interface,
you have to copy paste the mp4 direct link in the xml file and used it after as any playlistfile
but you have to note that like this sign url will not work at all you will have to inactivate it

Code:
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" xmlns:jwplayer="http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/FlashFormats"> <channel> <item> <link>www.crimescene.com/</link> <description>Interview with Carly Brock 2011</description> <media:credit role="author">Crime Scene</media:credit> <media:content url="http://video.joomlarulez.com/videos/awQTHuWC-0UIhlOUh.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> <media:thumbnail url="http://www.crimescene.com/currentcase/images/stories/hidden/jason.finnegan.1987.free.jpg" /> <jwplayer:author>Crime Scene</jwplayer:author> <jwplayer:provider>http</jwplayer:provider> <jwplayer:duration>10</jwplayer:duration> </item> </channel> </rss>



3 - BUT if i understand well your real problem is bandwidth ? you have to know that our videos are served using a mechanism called bitrate switching.

This means that the quality of your videos will adapt to the bandwidth and screen size of your viewers.

so you don't have to be worry of that,in fact did you try by yourself with a lower bandwidth connection ? you will see it in action.
