On the dashboard it defaults to "Good" so that its simpler for people to get going.
"Good" endpoint is "live2" which doesn't have recording
"Best" endpoint is "live" which saves a recording
nostr:npub1v0lxxxxutpvrelsksy8cdhgfux9l6a42hsj2qzquu2zk7vc9qnkszrqj49 thanks for building zap.stream!
I got a little tripped up trying to stream yesterday. I may have found a bug.
On the Settings->Stream page there is a “Server Url” that looks like this:
rtmp://in.zap.stream/live
But on the dashboard page the “Server Url” shows this:
rtmp://in.zap.stream/live2
I heard on your Citadel Dispatch pod that live/live2 are used for different quality settings. Not sure if my choosing the “Server Url” from the Dashboard is what tripped me up yesterday, but it seems to be inconsistent in the zap.stream interface so I’m just flagging that in case it helps.

Also, simply selecting them on the settings doesnt do anything, you need to use the correct server URL if you want to use "good" or "best"
