Description

I have a playlist m3u8 file that contains a bit rate that is not available yet , however it will be.

This happens as we generate our smil files on the fly so some of the transcoding is already complete for the majority of the bit rates however now and again one bit rate will slip through the loop and wont be available and the bit rate is showing in MBR list.

Is there somewhere I can modify the code to ignore this url level dynamically if it returns a 404? I am possibly looking in the flashls playlist/Manifest.as part.

Research direction

Start with flashls playlist/Manifest.as and trace how manifest URLs are added to the MBR list. Investigate how a URL returning 404 is handled during dynamic playlist loading. Done means an unavailable bitrate is excluded without preventing the other available bitrates from appearing.
