HLS variant playlist debugging
Is there a way to find out what playlist variant the video player is actually playing.
We are doing some bitrate testing, and I want to know which playlist is actually streaming.

Re: HLS variant playlist debugging
The stream testing tool doesn't give me any information about which playlist variant is being played.

During playback, look at the streamingSegment and downloadedSegment fields of the Video node, they have bitrate information
