it's inaccurate because the oled-2016 is wi-fi, the lg-2023 is wired, but the 2016 successfully played a lot of 30-40mbit videos before.

btw I've put 90mbit there but it's not sticking. if I quit and open it again it's blank! is this because 90 is the default?

anyway this whole thing seems broken ...

From ChatGPT:
🔍 Issues That Affect Quality:
-crf 23 + -maxrate 59000k
These two options together are clashing. CRF mode is designed for constant quality, not bitrate limiting. When you also set -maxrate, you're effectively forcing a hybrid mode that often degrades quality.

-preset llhp (low latency ...

With "Remux videos with tsmuxer", the TV says "This file type cannot be played on this TV" and won't play it.

Without the remux, it will transcode with ffmpeg with HORRIBLE quality. The difference is brutal. And every other file I've streamed before it says it needs to transcode because the TV ...

Disabling "Remux videos with tsmuxer" made some progress, the video played but slow AF (100% CPU USAGE) but still no audio

My TV connects to wireless network at 780mbit/s, idk why devs found out that 30mbit would be the wireless ideal, maybe they're still in 2010?

Anyway changing max bitrates wouldn't fix that command line. It will still try to limit hardware encoders' bandwidth with -maxrate and ffmpeg doesn't allow ...

anyway it shouldn't even transcode the video because my TV accepts it, the problem is the audio

this command line is simply WRONG:
DEBUG 2025-04-09 23:25:32.928 [ffmpeg.exe-2] net.pms.io.ProcessWrapperImpl Starting "C:\Program Files\Universal Media Server\bin\ffmpeg.exe" -y -loglevel info -hwaccel auto -threads 1 -i e:\t\The.Last.Of.Us.S01E01.2160p.UHD.BluRay.x265-BROADCAST.mkv -filter_complex ...

same thing

First I tried with tsmuxer enabled and TV said "This file type is not supported", then I've disabled tsmuxer and it tried to transcode the video: "This file cannot be recognized"

Even when I use libx265 it says:
[libx265 @ 00000000026d3300] Loaded libx265 does not support alpha layer encoding.

so transcoding is totally broken for me
