I think it's something in the Theater setup on that one machine that's wrong. It does play on the other PC running Theater. Plays just fine for me as well in theater. Theater direct plays, when you transcode h265 to h264, size is increased. I've seen a lot of wifis under 10 mbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's something in the Theater setup on that one machine that's wrong. It does play on the other PC running Theater. Plays just fine for me as well in theater. The file may be but it is HEVC so you have to remember that a transcode will convert to h264 and double the bitrate to try and keep quality. The only time it is not double is if quality is set on the client to a specific value or you have a streaming limit set if external. Playbackprotocal shows 140Mbps limit &VideoBitrate=139680000&AudioBitrate=320000 File has a bitrate of almost 4Mbps "Bitrate":3923586 and the transcode is almost 8Mbps as mentioned by vdatanet -c:v:0 libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -maxrate 7847172 -bufsize 15694344 So if lowering the "Home network quality" (Playback setting) plays back properly that would suggest a LAN network issue. WAN speedtest would be irrelevent in this LAN connection. If you were connecting remotely then you would have a Stream limit of maybe 4Mpbs as your upload is almost 6Mbps but not likely to ever truly sustain that. 6 hours ago, milpat said: works on pc not on phone.
