"Auto" quality setting, better tuning
Hey Folks,
So I've been troubleshooting playback of some of my videos, and found this post helped :
Turns out the "Auto" setting is setting the bitrate WAY higher than even the file actually has. For example, a 1080p stream, the file itself is ~12mbps but Auto is picking 1080p 60mbps. Naturally, this is probably causing ffmpeg to use way too high bitrate, for zero benefit. Additionally, 4k and other resolutions suffer from the same effect.
Can we please get "Auto"
That's a misunderstanding.
In the application, as well as in the browser, for example, I manually entered the maximum bitrate of 30Mbit/s. However, the real bitrate is around 5Mbit. Please I am not confusing Mbit and Mbyte.
If I understand correctly, the developers have implemented some version of bitrate control including encoding. That is, even if I manually set 30Mbit, if it is evaluated that the connectivity is not enough, a bitrate reduction is applied and automatically. This is a
