Currently, when streaming a 720p channel, the transcode options seem to max out at 4mbps quality and original. Unfortunately, my server doesn’t have enough upload bandwidth to handle the original quality stream, but I would like a higher quality option than the 4mbps (noticeable compression artifacts when watching football).

Would it be possible to get an ultra 720p option that uses 6mbps or 8mbps?

Thanks!

Clicking “Show all” does not change the options available

Could it be that the original OTA channel isn’t streaming above 4 Mbps and so Plex doesn’t allow you to set a higher option?

I’ve got some local subchannels channels that don’t go above 4.
