Chromecast Transcode

[Erik 124]

Hello,

 

Is there a setting that changes the transcoding bitrate to my Chromecast (2015 version). Its a 720p file with a bitrate just over of 5 Mbps but being transcoded down to 3 Mbps (says the server admin home page). Can I raise the quality being cast? I'm sure my network can handle it but couldn't find an setting.

 

transcode log attached.

 

Thanks,

Erik

That's where it went. Thanks!

I set it to the max of 30Mbps and pass through AC3. It works great, just wondered if 30 is the max he chromecast can handle? I only ask as my blu-ray movies show 32-33 Mbps in the details section so they would get transcoded. Could a setting of 35 or 40 be used to avoid that?

 

Thanks again.

For the original chromecast device, 10-11mbps is the recommended maximum. i'm not sure if the new device can go higher or not.
