Hello. I have a couple scenarios about which I am confused:
When I play something back that's 4k on my LAN with my Shield, and I restrict the bit rate (for testing), it will fail with "too many errors." Looking through the ffmpeg logs there are absolutely zero errors. It is closing the process with [q]. I notice that it's trying to transcode 4k HEVC to 4k h.264. I don't believe my client likes that. Because, if I go and play something that's 1080p and make it transcode, it works just fine. I don't see ANY options anywhere, server or client-side to alter resolution.
When a remote client plays something and has to transcode, it just plain doesn't work. There are also zero errors in the ffmpeg logs. Just the same closing with [q] thing. But I notice that ffmpeg is at least resizing their stuff to 1080p, but something on their end is still not happy. They can only play 1080p stuff and directly stream it.
What am I supposed to be looking for? Nothing I am looking at in logs is giving me any information about what is not liking what. I am testing on my server and constraining the bandwidth to test if things will work for clients. Thank you.
