I'm probably blind... where to set max bitrate in ET Win?

[horstepipe 422]

Hey

I'm seeing this in server log.

2020-12-09 15:20:45.087 Info App: Bitrate exceeds DirectPlay limit: media bitrate: 16023285, max bitrate: 7000000
2020-12-09 15:20:45.087 Info App: Bitrate exceeds DirectStream limit: media bitrate: 16023285, max bitrate: 7000000
2020-12-09 15:20:45.087 Info App: Bitrate exceeds DirectPlay limit: media bitrate: 16023285, max bitrate: 7000000
2020-12-09 15:20:45.087 Info App: Bitrate exceeds DirectStream limit: media bitrate: 16023285, max bitrate: 7000000

Where can I adjust these limits in Emby Theater on Windows?

It's under playback, in the settings.

Emby Theater Windows v3.0.11?

[horstepipe 422]

anybody got an idea why the setting is missing here?

Did you restrict transcoding access for the user?

So @LukeI don't make use of transcode so I'm not able to set the limit lol? Feels like these lines in server log are the reason why I can't playback that file. Other (smaller) files work fine..

[Luke 42078]

If you disable the transcode then that can be ignored.

[horstepipe 422]

okay then there has to be another reason why playback does not work for certain videos. From what I see Emby Theater's log don't provide info about that at all, so taking a look at the server log is the way to go here?

Specific example are needs.  Lots of media conditions can be none playable unless transcoded.

[horstepipe 422]

Yeah but that was not my question. I would have assumed that I can see the reason for playback failing in Emby Theater logs, but unfortunately I don’t.

[Happy2Play 9780]

Hard to say without logs, but per the setting.

Restricting access to transcoding will disable quality selection and may cause playback failures in Emby apps due to unsupported media formats or insufficient network bandwidth.
