cochize1 39 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 So, I have about 20 users but provide Live TV to only 2 of them. In order to provide a smooth playback with Live TV I was advised to set a max playback bandwidth below 20 Mbps, and ok, it works smooth so far. But now, all my users have downgraded video quality which forces the transcoding while watching movies or series with "media bitrate exceed limit" info. How can I set an automatic media quality for local network for all users and limited quality (to 8-10 Mbps) to just those that use Live TV? I believe that could limit the necessity of transcoding.

Luke 36878 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hi, we don't currently offer a way to configure based on the type of media, only based on the type of network connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cochize1 39 Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 ok, so if the limit for every user is set to, say 10 Mbps, why most of the movies (standard 1080p, 2GB, mkv files) have "media bitrate exceeds limit" transcoding issue?

Because you set the limit on the server, and they can also set a limit on their end, based on their network connection. The end result that you get is based on all of those factors. If you can provide the details of a specific example, then I can answer in more detail. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
