Hi Team,

I am very new to this wowza, I am having a smil file, which is as follows

```auto
<smil>
<head></head>
<body>
       <switch>
               <video src="mp4:myStream_360p" system-bitrate="1046608">
                       <param name="audioBitrate" value="196608" valuetype="data"/>
                       <param name="videoBitrate" value="850000" valuetype="data"/>
                       <param name="videoCodecId" value="avc1.4d401f" valuetype="data"/>
                       <param name="audioCodecId" value="mp4a.40.2" valuetype="data"/>
               </video>
               <video src="mp4:myStream_160p" system-bitrate="396608">
                       <param name="audioBitrate" value="196608" valuetype="data"/>
                       <param name="videoBitrate" value="200000" valuetype="data"/>
                       <param name="videoCodecId" value="avc1.428015" valuetype="data"/>
                       <param name="audioCodecId" value="mp4a.40.2" valuetype="data"/>
               </video>
       </switch>
</body>
</smil>

```

Using hls delivery i want to get feeds height, width etc which are **not** provided in the smil file from metadata of the files and send them in the hls delivery “ **playlist.m3u8** ” response. It should look like below.

```auto
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=330000 HEIGHT=320 WIDTH=132
chunklist_w1085404337_b300000.m3u8
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=770000 HEIGHT=480 WIDTH=200
chunklist_w1085404337_b700000.m3u8

```

Can you please help me how to proceed to achieve this ? I have tried many guides from this forum but they are not very helpful. Please point out what to do in this scenario
