I see it lightly documented that the first variant listed in the manifest is the first variant to play, then adaptive streaming takes over to pick the next variants.
When we do this we find the 3rd variant is loaded first.
How can I investigate the reason for this?
I've run media analyzer and there were some suggestion but nothing that made the 3d variant different from the first 2.
