Here's an example:

It contains the following streams:
How, if you play the master m3u8, xbmc seems to always just pick the first stream and stick with it, no matter what. Not automatically switching as expected. Am i doing something wrong here or is it that adaptive bitrate is not supported?
If it isn't, is there a way to pick the stream to play manually? For audio I can use setAudioStream through python or select it through gui, which works fine. But what about video stream?

How, if you play the master m3u8, xbmc seems to always just pick the first stream and stick with it, no matter what. Not automatically switching as expected. Am i doing something wrong here or is it that adaptive bitrate is not supported?
If it isn't, is there a way to pick the stream to play manually? For audio I can use setAudioStream through python or select it through gui, which works fine. But what about video stream?
