Also what happens if someone uploaded a high resolution file, Will it be reduced or it streams in high resolution as is?
Recoded versions is something we hope to have for the future, but not immediately.
Tim's code extracts the bitrate from the stream. We should consider putting in an idiot light that indicates the connection needed... should reduce the unhelpful "it doesn't work" complaints from people trying to view a 8mbit/sec stream on their dialup. ... it won't make it work but at least it will make it clear why it doesn't work.
Well, it may also help if we can bang at Cortado to make sure it's not just trying to stream (which sucks) but can handle something more in the play-as-you-download vein.
