PMS trancodes to higher Bitrate than original

Server Version#: Version 1.25.3.5409
Player Version#:

Hallo,
I have a strange issue with pms.
Upload from the Internetprovider: 50 mbit/s

I can stream my 4K Movies remote in direct play till around a bitrate of 18 mbit/s. More than arround 18 mbit/s, PMS decides to transcode the movie. Decission: Not enough Bandwith. But PMS does not downgrade the bitrate. PMS transcodes too an higher Bitrate:

For Example:
Movie in Original-Bitrate 23,9 Mbps,4K.
Then PMS transcode to a Bitrate from 39,1 Mbps,4K

Everytime i want to select manual the original bitrate, PMS doesn´t play directplay and transcodes to 39,1 Mbps. if I go to my local network, I can stream it without problems in directplay.

Testet on: Iphone

My settings:
Client:
-Video quality: Maximum

PMS:
Upload Speed: 50Mbps
Limiting the stream bitrate over the Internet per stream: Unlimited
