I cann't seem to find the place where to choose the adaptive logic to use.

I have an old package build, and this option is under tools->preferences->stream filters->DASH, however in the latest vlc build, that option is not there

is this some special plugin now? or is it just somewhere else well hidden?

There is no option about that.

well then, that makes my final project all the harder.

I want to add a small drop down menu to the DASH page where one would choose between the "Always Best", "Always Worst", and "Rate based" logic for adaptive streaming.
These logics are already in the source code under vlc-2.1.0\modules\stream_filter\dash\adaptationlogic, but like you said, there is no option to choose between them.
and then I want to implement my own adaptive logic.

needless to say, I have no idea how to do that lol

Patch the code
