The VideoLAN Forums

I run into this problem and I can not seem to find a solution for it. I am wondering is there support for selecting different video stream. For example I have this situation:

[00000422] access_mms access: selecting stream[0x1] audio (72 kb/s)
[00000422] access_mms access: selecting stream[0x2] video (968 kb/s)
[00000422] access_mms access: ignoring stream[0x3] video (718 kb/s)
[00000422] access_mms access: ignoring stream[0x4] video (468 kb/s)
[00000422] access_mms access: ignoring stream[0x5] video (218 kb/s)

I want simply to be able to select lower bit rate streams.

1. Is it possible to do that from remote interface?
2. Is it possible to do it from command line?
3. Is it possible to do it with a hotkey?

How?

Ok I found option called --mms-maxbitrate that controls the max bitrate. However it only worked down for example
--mms-maxbitrate=256 selected lowest bitrate stream but when I invoked it with
--mms-maxbitrate=1024 still the lowest stream remain selected (is this preference maybe save somewhere the first time?)

Also I am looking for a way to control this from remote interface or hotkey (if vlc would support hotswapping of bitrates on the fly). If I wanted to add this feature what files should I start looking in? I hope someone can help.

ok figured this one bymyself, the bitrate should be in b/s not kb/s like it is presented on the screen.
