tjlmbklr 10 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I want to share a Guest account to a friend. Their IPS is providing 10Mbsp Down I have 18Mbps Down and 1.5Mbps up (when it's working right that is). Should I be setting my Internet streaming bitrate limit (Mbps): no higher that 1.5Mbps like 1.25? Then On their end, the playback settings on their device needs to match? Sorry, this is a little foreign to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14925 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 With that upload speed I would limit your bandwidth for streaming to about 1Mb/s. That will still mean that you can only provide one stream at a time under the best of conditions. The app side settings shouldn't matter because the server side should limit it. I will say, though, I would not expect stellar performance with only 1.5Mb up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RanmaCanada 349 Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 If your upstream is that limited, I would suggest moving over to x265 files, and ensuring your friend has a device that can direct play them. Reason is for the bandwidth saving. A 45 minute tv show can be as small as 200 megs, though I personally prefer around 330. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
