hello,
is there anyway to adjust streams as serverside?
i publish a good video live stream, but some of clients are connected as
dialup, and some are Lan, i want if client has Lan connection, see a high
quality video, and if client connected as dialup, see a low quality video.
anyone can help me?
thanks to all

FMS is not capable of real time recompression. What you'll want to do is detect
the user's connection speed (look on flashcomguru.com or peldi.com/blog for
tutorials), and have two separate versions of the .flv, with one at a lower
bitrate.

For live streams, set the user's receive fps to a low number:

my_ns.receiveVideo(2); // Receive video at 2fps

thanks for reply,
but this is not a valueable feature that FMS can detect user bandwidth, we can do it by client system.
hope they add this feature on next version.
