All my files are HEVC and they were able to direct play some pretty lower bit rate (around 1.5 mbps) 1080p stuff. The issue I am still having is that they are still be transcoded for the reason of "ContainerBitrateExceedsLimit." This was on a file with a 14 mbit video track. No subtitles. Only had to transcode the audio. My server is set to a 35 mbit limit. I had the client set their client to 30 mbit. We did a speed test between us and my upload is actually 41 mbit. The video they tried got encoded down to 2,718,169 bits/s (according to the ffmpeg log showing the command line used). This transcode was to h.264 (I had the allow encoding to HEVC box checked last night). Are the reasons for transcoding that it lists just nonsense?
