Changing the player to libVLC fixed the issue with bitrate changing. The video is now transcoding correctly. I'm using a Fire TV Stick 4K on Fire OS version 6.7.0.2. I was using ExoPlayer which apparently caused problems. The movie I was trying to play back is HDR10. My TV does not properly support HDR. The only website that had any indication of HDR for my specific model said "4K HDR Extreme" which is not a thing as far as I can tell. I plugged the fire stick into a monitor that properly supports HDR and it played back correctly without messing with the bitrate. Is there any way to force transcoding without messing with the bitrate?
