Hi

I’m new to development…I want to build the plugin for wowza application which will automatically detect the lowest bitrate incoming stream and start recording of it. for example if there is a stream, say test.stream, and transcoder transcode it in test\_160 ,test\_360 ,test\_720 so my plugin should tell test\_160 has lowest bitrate and start recording test\_160. My problem is I’m able to record the stream but not able to find the lowest bitrate stream. how to find lowest bitrate stream of all the incoming stream??it would be very helpful if you answer this question…
