Quote:Is there a way for Jellyfin to figure out its outgoing bitrate based on the devices download speed and the servers upload speed?
This is what the speed test should be doing. The trouble is that it only fires once and that's it.
For example, when you open the Android TV app, if you're already signed in, it sends a sample request for data (I think 1 MB), and it measures how long it takes to receive that (so this is limited to what your server's upload speed is). Once done, it sets the closest matching playback quality until the app is closed/started again.
What we don't have at the moment is a dynamic quality switching system during playback. That would account for variable upload in the way you've described it.
