I'm using MP4Client in raw output video (i.e. MP4Client -opt "Video:DriverName=Raw Video Output"). In this mode I don't see the bitrate switching happening. I look for this line in the log file "Switching to new representation bitrate" to verify the bitrate switching. I can see this line when I run in normal mode. Is there a way to enable bitrate sitching in raw output video mode?
Please help!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
But an other problem has raised. I'm running my MP4Client remotely with the help of a python script. To send the signals like bitrate switching, I'm sending there control ascii values as input for example (ctrl-h is '\x08'). But, I notice that these are not working as expected (i.e. if I send the ctrl-h or ctrl-l signal 10 times, I don't notice the switching happening atleast 5 times).
I have a couple of questions:
- Has the shortcuts been updated?
- Or when executing remotely the only way to do it is by varying the network conditions?
- Is there any other way to switch bitrates?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance

the ctrl+h/l only works with existing window, not from the prompt. When using raw output, no events are triggered ... We could add a way to switch quality from the prompt but this is not yet possible

After a bit of digging in the logs, I found out that the Switching was happening. Below is the log line I observed:
