hi, I need some way of controlling the streams based on user roles, I mean if I have only 600 kbps and there are some users playing streams and then comes another user with higher priority, how I close the streams and give all the bandwidth to the super user¿

Or how I can adjust the bandwidth based on the role¿

Here is the suggestion I received for you @Luis Molina Martinez:

“If he has multiple bitrate renditions available then he could probably do something custom using the IMediaStreamNameAliasProvider interface or an IMediaListProvider implementation.”

or this route was also suggested:
