Ah, I see. I'm still learning about all of this so apologies if I use the wrong terms or get confused. Changing the bit rate in the web player just happens to impact the videos a lot. I'm still confused, though. For example..
Spaceballs is H264, 5214kpbs. Playback on auto is awful but as soon as I manually drop the bit rate to 4000kpbs it's perfect.
Doing so changes the video resolution from 3840x2080 to 1280x692 (player dimension is 1600*720)
3 Body Problem is HEVC, 21383kpbp. Same story that when playing on auto its unwatchable but if I decrease the bit rate to 20Mbps (which reduces the video resolution from 3840*2160 to 2560*1440)
I don't understand why I can watch HEVC at 20MPBS but when I try to play H264 automatically at ~5214kpbs there are issues. Its not a huge deal but I'd prefer to move my library to 4k instead of 1080p without my family members who also watch this stuff running into the same issues as me.
