      Description

      To the kind attention of Kurento experts,
      I would like to share the conversation with Luis Lopez about a video
      quality issue, in order to have your support through Jira as we have been
      told.

      Thank you

      Hi Leonardo,
      Today we have been informed that the FIWARE policies for providing support
      to Accelerator's participants need to be satisfied. Unfortunately this
      means that I can only provide support to you through the FIWARE Jira. I
      would appreciate if you could open a Jira issue for tracking this problem.
      Otherwise, the efforts we invest here shall be not covered by FIWARE, which
      is somehow a problem for us.

      Sorry for the inconveniences.

      Best.

      Hi Luis,
      thank you for your reply, unfortunately we haven't many choices because of
      the limitations of the video formats, but this could be a solution.
      Allowing a good quality streaming towards Wowza and let this server handle
      the distribution of the stream to iOS/Android users with HLS protocol. Is
      it a feasible solution in your opinion? How can I change the transcoding
      bitrate in Kurento, is there a configuration file, an API or is it a
      hardcoded parameter?

      Thank you again

        This limitation has been fixed in Kurento v6.0 introducing an additional method for configuring default bitrate of transcoders in agnostic bin.
