I'm reading that Apple requires streaming HTTP Live Streaming to meet this requirement
When authoring your content for HTTP Live Streaming over cellular, you must provide a baseline stream with a maximum measured bitrate of 192 kbps in addition to any other higher bitrate streams.
I'm using AWS Elastic Transcoder to convert a video file using the preset HLS 1k, which says this is the bit rate
Bit Rate
872
I've used Apple's mediafilevalidator and this is the output
Discontinuity: sequence: 0, parsed segment count: 3 of 3, duration: 9.067 sec, average: 1013.71 kb/s, max: 1176.55 kb/s
Track ID: 1
Audio Codec: AAC-LC
Audio sample rate: 44100 Hz
Audio channel layout: Stereo (L R)
Track ID: 2
Video Codec: avc1
Video profile: Main
Video level: 3.1
Video resolution: 243x432
Video average IDR interval: 3.000000, Standard deviation: 0.000000
Video frame rate: 30.000
Does the HLS 1M stream meet Apple's 192kpbs requirement? I can't really tell based off the info.
If HLS 1k meets 1MB/s, then HLS 400k meets 400kpbs, then there's no lower option and I need to include a purely audio stream?
Thanks!
