Request
Restore selectable 4K 20Mbps and 4K 40Mbps quality tiers across all Plex clients for streaming and downloads.
iOS, Android, TV apps, and Web.
Current
Highest selectable quality is 1080p 20Mbps unless using Original.
So, the only choices are:
- Original at 70 to 100 Mbps
- 1080p High
- Pre-transcoding everything to 4K versions
There is no 4K middle tier.
Background
My 4K library is Blu-ray remuxes. My family wants 4K remotely but cannot always support full remux bitrates when on the road.
I run an Intel Arc A310 that can easily transcode 4K H.264 and H.265 at 20 to 40 Mbps.
Older apps supported 4K transcode tiers. Please restore them.
