Hey all,
I’ve been trying to force transcoding on Swiftfin and keep running into dead ends. I am setting this up for my parents who do not have an ideal internet connection for large video files, so I set their user internet streaming limit to 5mbps. I also went into their user account and set their internet quality to 6mbps (I believe). Feels like these settings are being ignored by Swiftfin.
Every time I load up a video on Swiftfin (tvOS), it begins to stutter and the information bubble under the user indicates “Direct Play” still. I have confirmed Swiftfin’s force direct play option is off, as well
I’m using Tailscale, no idea if this could be the culprit. Possibly it could be reading it as a LAN connection so it is not forcing those specified internet streaming… if that’s even how that aspect of it works. If so, any way to fix this issue/force transcoding?
Any pointers or tips would be greatly appreciated! Apologies if there is weird formatting, I did this on mobile.
