Transcoding options for Plex, Emby, Jellyfin

[Online40618]

I’m not clear why this thread is being combined here. My understanding is that this topic is focused on supporting Infuse App / Client-Side transcoding selection settings (which still would be awesome to have). I feel too many nuanced issues are getting combined here.

However, this issue is related to simply investigating and supporting the correct JellyFin API such that JellyFin actual server (not app level) bandwidth limitation settings are adhered to.

For illustration purposes:

• Current JellyFin remote bandwidth settings are set to 10mbps.
• When media is played remotely on all other jellyfin apps, media is transcoded down to 10mbps as designed.
• It’s believed that Infuse uses the wrong API such that it always plays media at original quality, ignoring server set bandwidth settings.

Hope this helps. For Jellyfin users we want this, please support the below thread:

Support Jellyfin remote access limits

not sure where specifically to post this. i’m using Infuse to connect to a jellyfin server using direct mode. i have jellyfin set to limit the bitrate to 8Mbps for remote connections. when i use Infuse remotely, jellyfin is not recognising that it’s a remote connect so no bitrate limit happens. i’ve sent to the logs to a jellyfin dev and they advised interpreting the logs as Infuse directly accessing the media, perhaps via the "download" endpoint instead of the playback endpoints. This means…

Thanks!
