Just to confirm (mp4 transmux question)
Rover 2021-09-16 00:46:05 UTC in WMSPanel functionality
We use Nimble exclusively for live stuff at the moment. However, I am looking to start doing some VOD.
I want to serve up VOD as ABR HLS.
Am I correct in assuming that I need:
1) keyframe-aligned MP4's for each bitrate (ie. 1500kbps, 700kbps, etc)
2) SMIL file
I just wanted to verify that is still the case as I haven't done VOD on Nimble in a long time. Wanted to make sure there wasn't a new method where I could just use the highest bitrate mp4 and it would handle everything "automatically."
Thanks!

Hello Rover,
You're correct, Nimble does not transcode VOD content and you need to use keyframe-aligned MP4 files with SMIL for VOD ABR HLS.
