Media bitrate exceeding limit

Hi there

Just wanted to share with you an experience I had and ask why it is the case.

So, a video 1080p, plays as is without transcoding on Emby app on LG smart TV, but the when played on Chrome browser screen wshowing Emby within Synology DSM leads to transcoding with message: Media bitrate exceeds bitrate.

Many thanks

Hi,

Different clients can each have different limits that you can set.  From the web client click on your icon top right then go to Playback menu.
Here you will be able to edit the limits for that client.  Try manually adjusting them manually.

Let us know how you make out.

Hi cayars,

Thanks for the tip. The setting was on auto and now that I changed it it no longer transcodes.

Many thanks for your help.
