Changing resolution doesn't change the used bandwidth - TimeLabs - 2024-09-27
Hi there,
I've been troubleshooting some issues with my TailScale instance and while doing that I found out, that no matter what resolution I select, it doesn't change the bandwidth used.
Shouldn't a change in requested resolution / bitrate trigger transcoding?

The resolution selection is pretty meaningless. It is the bitrate in the quality selector that matters. If you have a video with a 5Mbps bitrate and you select 10Mbps then nothing will happen. If you select anything lower than 5Mbps it will trigger a transcode.
