MK.IO now accepts multi-bitrate RTMP input for our live passthrough events. Simply send us the multi-bitrate RTMP streams and MK.IO will expose each bitrate stream in your HLS and DASH output. The MK Player will then automatically select the bitrate that offers the best playback experience for your audience.
Live Streaming is now available. Transcode your RTMP input stream into multiple HLS and DASH output bitrates. Foundation level outputs up to 720p, while the Advanced level provides up to 1080p output.

A bug that resulted in streaming endpoints not starting due to malformed labels has been resolved.
