Better Bitrate limit to stop freezing

[Daniel_breder 1]

 

I was having content freezing problems, and they improved when I reduced the bitrate limit to 2.

I would like to know the best value I should set in my server, so that freezes don't occur and I don't have a loss of quality in my content.
 

Also, what other settings can I edit on the server to improve streaming videos?

That is really impossible to say as everyone's connection speed will/could be different.

ISP and Cellular data can be throttled and different levels.  Just like seeing my cell data fluctuate from 0.1 Mbps to 10+ Mbps depending on the time of day.

Hi, where exactly did you set this option?

User options.. I lowered it to 1 to avoid more crashes. Why you asked this?  

Is it correct to say that the lower the value, the fewer freezes will occur? (consequently the movie will run in lower quality)

Doing it on the server means it will affect every device the user connects from, so just be aware of that.

Lower bitrate means fewer freezes but more server transcoding, so it is a trade-off.

Considering that I have only 5 active users in my emby, and I use the server on a computer with good specs, and 16 gb of memory, I believe it is the best solution..
