Theres no way on the server side to push a client to a higher quality, right? Short of disabling transcoding? I can see in Tautulli that i've got multiple friends whose players (mostly TV native apps on wifi) are bonking down to 720kbps, and they arent savvy enough to know to go into the player settings and set it to maximum and disable bandwidth recommendations.

Can’t believe you blacked out the movie, so now im forced to assume it was a 4K HDR BluRay of Weekend at Bernie’s 2

Im sorta at my wits end with an issue my friends and now reporting regularly across multiple platforms and multiple file types and encoding. They are getting the "server is not powerful enough" warning and get buffering and lovely video quality. Looking at the logs, I think it is because Plex seems to think the bitrate is absolutely comical:quote:Apr 05, 2024 19:03:46.428 [7496] DEBUG - [Req#35c907/Transcode] Codecs: testing aac_mf (encoder) quote:Apr 05, 2024 19:03:46.482 [7496] DEBUG - [Req#35c907/Transcode] MDE: Dune: Part Two (2024): Audio Direct Streaming is disabled, so video's audio stream will be transcoded My bro, a x264 movie with 128kbps 2 channel AAC track in MKV container does not need 2.1TB/s of bandwidth. Hell the file dont even need the 12MB/s you are estimating the second time for directplay. I reencoded the file with Handbrake to x265/mp4 with the same audio settings and... lo and behold, it immediately started DirectPlaying no problem. Is there something im missing here? Been digging through the plex forums and reddit but nothing of value, the one dude with the same problem i could find just built a whole new server lol. I don't think its the hardware (11700k) or plex settings, and seems to happen with and without subs.

I'm pretty sure it is pushing a huge transcoded file out to the clients, yeah. Its a 1gig up connection, so i've got the Settings -> Remote Access -> Limit remote stream bitrate set to "Original (No limit)". Heres the Tatulli for the same playback: e: another example, this time a x265, eac3 file with subs on... the only similar feature I can see between these two files is MKV and the the hardware transcode?

Also I love that its transcoding a file from 264 to 264 with no subs, and somehow inflating the video size more than 2x? It sorta feels like a transcoder bug of some kind. e: i think i got the transcode page squared away as not the issue? (Z:\ is an NVME SSD transcodes scratch drive, error was occurring before i bought it too)
