User stream bit rate limit control is invalid, resulting in no triggered transcoding - Br yuyu - 2025-06-10
I want to limit the bit rate of user internet streaming to achieve transcoding effect and thus reduce network load.
On the server
pass
Settings > Dashboard > Users > Click the User > Internet streaming bitrate limit (Mbps)
Settings > Dashboard > Playback > Streaming
With the above settings, the client cannot achieve the effect of transcoding playback, and the client device still performs lossless transmission and playback.
Currently, the only way to achieve transcoded playback is to set a bit rate limit for Internet streaming media transmission on the client.
Is there a way to achieve the effect of client transcoding and playback by only setting the Internet streaming media transmission bit rate limit on the server side without the client making any settings?
