Will do. Re Infuse, found this thread on their forum.

Few logs here. Not 100% sure how to read them but it looks like Swiftfin for tvOS acts via Direct Play and not adhering to bandwith limitations set at the server level.

The play methods says direct play, but the ffmpeg log right before it implies it is actually transcoding.
And in the ffmpeg parameters it is setting a max bit rate. It looks like you have a 10Mbps limit set, probably.
RE: Swiftfin / Infuse Not Adhering to Bandwidth Limit - JazoBurbs - 2025-01-13
Correct but set the limit to 12Mbps.
I'm confused by your response though. You say it says Direct Play but is transcoding?
In terms of experience from the Swiftfin app, nothing happens. It stalls and doesn't play anything. Client-side bandwidth limits are strong so internet connection isn't the issue.
Swiftfin is super buggy so could just be an app issue.
But what you're saying is that it is calling the playback api appropriately?
RE: Swiftfin / Infuse Not Adhering to Bandwidth Limit - TheDreadPirate - 2025-01-13
Yes. Swiftfin is an official app and will always use the playback API.
Yes, the playback reporting plugin is saying it is direct playing. But in the line right before that shows that ffmpeg is invoked for a full transcode.
This sounds like a client bug, IMO. Go ahead and submit a bug report. Include the logs you shared in your prior post.

Honestly, I’m waiting for Infuse to call the playback API. Swiftfin for AppleTV has been boarder-line unusable for me. Too many bugs to spend my time on replicating and documenting.
