how to change video and audio bitrates of transcoded files? - Hajker - 2024-02-17
i want to change the transcoded audio from 256kbps AAC to like 128kbps to save bandwidth. is it possible, if not, why, if i may know? i can't find any settings related to it.
and also one more thing - is it possible to remove unnecessary bitrates, to make them not show up in receiver device? just limit for example to 720p@3mbps maximum.
thanks

If you're talking about MUSIC transcoding, there is a setting on the client to do that. Click on your icon in the top right, click on Playback, Music Quality. Select 128Kbps from the drop down.
If you're talking about max video transcoding, you can set that either per user or globally. To set it globally go to Dashboard > Playback > Streaming (top center) and set a max bit rate.

thanks, this is fine, but there's no way to set it server side, right?

You can set maximum bit rates for remote clients. Other than that, there is no way to restrict client bit rates for transcodes.
