Hello, I have setup a VOD app that is running absolutely fine with Flowplayer HLSjs player. [http://demos.flowplayer.org/api/hlsjs.html](http://demos.flowplayer.org/api/hlsjs.html) Now I want Adaptive Bitrate Stream feature for this HLS Stream. I can create videos of different dimensions via ffmpeg also I know I can generate a SMIL file for each file size and use this in the player. However the issue is there are hundreds of videos uploaded on daily basis and I cannot manually generate SMIL file for each of them. Please advice how I can setup this scenario in Wowza and dynamically generate SMIL file for each video uploaded. There must be a template system or so to handle this situation so that I do not have to create smil file for each video separately and work it with HLSJS supported HTML5 player. Kind Regards, Aamir ---

Hello, You might want to look into using the HTTP Provider option of creating these SMIL files using the method in the following article: [How-to-generate-a-SMIL-file-with-an-HTTP-Provider](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-generate-a-smil-file-with-an-http-provider) Best regards, Andrew
