Active Device "i" message for "bitrate limit exceeded"

[Erik 124]

Hello,

 

I was trying to troubleshoot why a certain movie was "direct streaming" on one roku device and "transcoding" on another for the last half hour, and digging through the logs for an answer as the "i" button on the active device told me that the "Bitrate Limit Exceeded" was the reason.

 

So i was trying to figure out if there was a network problem or what until i remembered/stumbled upon the roku setting for bitrate limit was no longer set to "Auto" by someone.

 

Any chance the "i" message wording could be changed to specify that the transcoding is due to a self imposed bitrate limit due to a setting in the playback app (I'm not sure if there are times Emby limits the bitrate for other reasons that could have a different message). Just would help accurately describe the reason for the transcode and aid in troubleshooting as well.

 

Thanks,

Erik
