Emby client circumventing limitations

I've been having this issue for some time now.
I've only noticed it with the Samsung TV family member.
Globally all users are locked to 4 Mbps and even in their respective accounts.

How is it this user sometimes defaults to direct playback.
I can't even stop the stream!

Without logs from the time of occurence, it would be anyone's guess. Is that remote IP you've masked? Do you have RP in front of your Emby server so it's local address is actually been passed? Anyway, those are just assumptions, as said, logs would be needed.

I would assume Dev would prefer complete log as few more entries before your snippet starts would be required; if you have privacy concerns, you can PM the log to him.

Hi, yes please provide the complete log but the most likely answer is that your network setup and/or network settings are such that the server can’t accurately distinguish a remote connection from a local one.

Have another case of a TV which is bypassing the bitrate limits.
What is the point if devices will randomly override the limits.

You can see they are using direct play at 16 mbps yet their account cannot do more than 2 mbps

This happens with multiple devices and users at random.
It's not a problem with IP detection as my proxy is configured to correctly forward the IP as it shows clearly an external IP.

@ados8000this is a large log containing many playback sessions, which makes it a little hard to sort through. What time was the above example of beauty and the  beast?

Why do you think Emby didn't sanitize the log?

Anyway, for the example at the top of this log file, the bitrate limit was respected as far as I can tell.

Because I had to request GrimReaper delete most of my past log uploads as my domain.com address was still in the logs.

But you can see the bitrate is being exceeded at least by the GUI.
Are you saying this is a glitch whereby the UI is displaying incorrect information or the logs are incorrect.
Something isn't matching, what's the next step.

It could just be an issue in the UI, yes. We're about to release Emby Server 4.8. Please let us know how things compare after that. Thanks.

Sweet, thanks Luke.
Silver lining is that it's a false positive.
Will see if it happens after the new update.
