arrbee99 1559 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Am beginning to wonder if desktop Theater 3.0.2 is transcoding stuff it used to direct play. One of the midgets was watching Peaky Blinders S04E01 on his laptop using 3.0.1 and am pretty sure dashboard said it was direct playing. Now he's watching S04E03 using 3.0.2 and it says its transcoding. It says media bitrate exceeds limit. Dashboard says its running at 4.7Mbps and am using ethernet. In the logs over the last day or two it plays Ep1 and Ep2 OK and for Ep3 it starts using ffmpeg... embyserver-63671097600.txt embyserver.txt ffmpeg-transcode-e55b63d9-3480-483c-881a-9215573d452a.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Check your user bitrate settings and the app bitrate settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1559 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 If I'm looking in the right place (big if) on his Theater it says Video Quality - Home Network Quality - Auto. On the server can't see anything except for Internet Streaming Bitrate Limit, and that's blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asrequested Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Try changing it to the max, which is 120 Mb/s, in Theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1559 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 I could, except he's now watching Ep 4, which is direct playing. Maybe there something about that particular episode (Ep 3)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but I doubt it. I've had issues with auto not getting it right. I always set it to the max. Try it out, later. I would be interested to find out what's happening.
