force transcoding

[yalagin]

Hi
I have tv with 60 herz refresh screen when I try to play 60 frames p/s video it's forcing transcoding for me can I bypass it? and stream direct 60 frames instead of converting to 30 frames ?

for more info my tv LG UHD 4K Smart TV UP7500 and it supports Refresh Rate 50 (60) Hz

Are you sure it's only transcoding if it's 60fps? What does the playback info in the dashboard say? You can bring that up from a phone/computer while playing the video on the TV.

Ah it's not refresh rate it's bitrate =) so my tv accept only 120mbps and higher is transcoded
thanks

And one more question when I watch it directly from usb flash card it can be viewed without transcoding. Can I force video to be transmitted without transcoding because I think if my media player on tv plays it nicely, I don't really need to transcode it ?

Like I am streaming video from mac and it did not pickup the graphics card somehow I installed it natively and tried every option for transcoding and can not switch from cpu to gpu. So when I playing that video there are huge freezes because cpu is not fast enough. Thanks

Ah I got it the current limitation is 4k 120mbps and for now there is no support of higher mbps so I need to wait of supporting 8k transmission or something

[yalagin]

ah actually no when I play from the web-browser or the mobile there is no transcoding but for TV it does transcode even though tv supporting direct streaming

It's probably because the Ethernet port is only 100Mbps, so maybe a limitation in the HTML video player (even if you're on wifi)?

apiclient and jf-web have hardcoded limits.

• 120Mbps
