Misleading transcode information in clients and dashboard

[danergo 37]

I'm running the latest Emby (4.9.3.0) on Ubuntu server.

Hardware transcoding is done by an NVidia card.

I selected 1080p (60MBps) for my web playback settings:

Why 1080p? Because my monitor is fullHD only, so I don't need to stream 4K videos and it's also a good test-case.

Let's see what happens:

I turned on "stats for nerds" as you can see. But it seems not respecting my 1080p request. Also, different values are displayed in "stats for nerds", and in settings on this current player (4K - 40Mbps).

Dashboard seems also not respecting my preference.

To see what happened actually, I've attached the transcode log.

IMHO, all 4 places (stats4nerds, player setting, web setting, dashboard info) shall display the same value. Or at least: stats for nerds AND player setting and dashboard info shall be equal (in case player setting can temporary override web setting).

What do you think?
