Transcoding seems not working on FireTV client

[danergo 37]

I'm using Emby for some transcoded streaming. Client is a FireTV Stick. I configured 3MBps max bitrate which seems activating the transcoding but it seems not happening in reality.

 

I can check "nvidia-smi", which does not show any ongoing process. Also in my router I can clearly see there is much more bandwidth (~10MBps) used than I requested. Stats for nerds also confirms this (direct play), emby server admin also shows direct play. But transcoding log doesnt really show any errors at least I couldn't find any on my phone.

 

Can you please take a look at it?

What makes you think it's not being transcoded to 720p 3 Mbps? This log very clearly indicates that. It cannot be direct playing, both the video and audio tracks are transcoded. You don't have throttling enabled so it finished transcoding the whole file in a little over 4 minutes. Are you sure this it the correct example?
