Emby transcodes TV channel that exceeds 1.5 mbps

Emby always transcodes any live TV channel whose total bitrate is greater than 1.5 Mbps.

It ignores my playback settings (Android mobile app, Emby Theater for Windows): Auto, 720p - 10Mbps, 1080p - 20Mbps, or any other.

Hi there, can you please attach the ffmpeg log as well? Thanks.

Hi, looks like the in-app quality setting is set to a low value. Try setting it to something higher.

 

Also check server streaming settings, maybe you configured a remote stream bitrate limit.

In-app quality setting (Auto, 20Mbps, 60Mbps) does not work. There is no remote stream bitrate limit.

Can you go into the server dashboard, under Playback -> Streaming, and take a screenshot? thanks.

Can you show a screenshot of the in-app quality settings?

Can you try clearing all app data, or browsing data if this is the web app? thanks.

No result! I have found a workaround: (1) I edited the channel metadata file at .../cache/mediainfo/<channel id>.json and (2) replaced the video "BitRate" key with a lower (fake) bitrate.
