Hi all,
I am evaluating the option of creating on single file (MKV container) by movie in my library, that would support all my needs. It would have one full quality version, and a second with a lower bitrate, which would ease streaming from the web.
I hear we can add multiple video streams in the same file, using FFMPEG. I went to the intricacies on the tool (insanely powerful) and found how to create the file, however, I am wondering if Plex is going to “understand” these and select the right stream automatically if possible. I understand that I could spin a separate file and it would be much simpler but for the sake of the experiment, would like to have a self contained solution.
The behavior that I am looking for would be the following:
- I would create a new video stream with let’s say 20 Mbps
- If my player is configured for 1080P 20 Mbps, i’d like PMS to automatically stream the right version.
If that possible at all?
thank you
