modify smil labels


I currently have a smil file that is pointing to three different bit rates for a live stream

when i add the /jwplayer.smil to the end of the link i get options to switch bitrates , happy days.

however for our user base it would be easier that the options where labelled as high,medium,low.

is this possible to do?

i am using wowza.

In SMIL, custom labels are done like this:

title=“my video”

In each of the videos in the switch statement.

Provide a link. I tried that, and it works for me.

i am afraid i cannot post a link as everything is in our test environment.

This is our smil file

<smil>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<switch>
<video src="live_1" system-bitrate="570000" title="high"/>
<video src="live_2" system-bitrate="270000" title="low"/>
</switch>
</body>
</smil>


live1 gets the content from the live stream from the encoder
live2 gets the lower bitrate from the encoder

Need a link to debug so I can actually see this running and then edit anything if necessary.
