Actually I am evaluating to switch from the JWPlayer to the new Wowza Player,

but it seems, there is some to do …

Currently a lecture recording is going on and the view should be able to

Switch between 3 different source (streams).

This works fine using the JWPlayer, but the Wowza Player does NOT allow to select the sources ?

BOTH players are using the same SMIL file, but act somehow different during playback:

SEE here: ![](http://mediaserver.fh-wedel.de/kaleck/images/Wowza-Live-SourcesMissing.jpg)

Any ideas from the WOWZA Expert Team ?

Hello kalfhw,

Currently switching between different camera angles via SMIL file is not supported.
