maxxoverclocker 4 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Hi! After the update from 4.3.0.30 to 4.3.1, I've noticed that in the server dashboard the bitrates for transcoded media are wildly inaccurate, sometimes 5-10x higher than the actual source media: The source media for this was 7,867 kbps as reported on the media detail page: Title1080p H264 CodecH264 AVCYes ProfileHigh Level41 Bitrate7,867 kbps Color spacebt709 Bit depth8 bit Pixel formatyuv420p Ref frames1 NAL4 I've attached the logs for the above. I've also seen it report absurdly low bitrates, like 45 Kbps when they're actually streaming at 3Mbps. embyserver-1.txt Edited January 14, 2020 by maxxoverclocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8139 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I would suspect this is the answer. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/80855-internet-streaming-bitrate-limit/?p=825635 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll keep my eye on that thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 No that's actually not the same at all. In this case the app requested 2 mbps but the actual result is being reported as something very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case the app requested 2 mbps but the actual result is being reported as something very different. I guess I am confused as a 2Mb limit and 2Mb transcode, exact same logging as other topic. UI showing VTT rate about 76Mbps.

seanbuff 837 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 No that's actually not the same at all. In this case the app requested 2 mbps but the actual result is being reported as something very different. So isn't that exactly the same as in my case? My clients had a limit of 6Mbps, and the logs indicate that they were indeed pulling 6Mbps - yet the dashboard was reporting something completely different. @@softworkz summed up the issue perfectly. Obviously caused by a recent update, as the OP originally indicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softworkz 3301 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 We're working on it! Thanks for reporting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36879 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 The output bandwidth has been corrected for the upcoming 4.4 release. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxoverclocker 4 Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 The output bandwidth has been corrected for the upcoming 4.4 release. Thanks. Thanks again Luke! This is good to hear because I've noticed that even though I have a per-stream bandwidth limit of 8Mbit/s, some clients are pulling 25Mbit/s (source bitrate) even though the clients are external. Completely depends on the source content though. I'll wait for the 4.4 stable release and see if that does the trick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
