As you are all aware or probably already know, the xbox one has a limit of 20mbps, which is pretty low when attempting to direct play (where possible) files that are 5GB +
The great thing about the xbox, they have a feedback section.
I have create a post asking for the birate for media to be increase significantly, could you all please vote or share any comments regarding it in the xbox feedback thread?
The more votes it gets, the more chance it will be updated on the platform :)
I understand your request but personally I have never seen anything above 10 or 12 mbit.
Do you rip your movies yourself with such a high bitrate ?
I just find it´s a waste of space as even for fast "action-movies" with a lot happening on screen a bitrate of around 10 mbit for 1080p should be more than sufficient.
I rip my own collection and its uncompressed. And some blu-rays will easily hit over 30 mbit, they can be direct streamed through the media player app no problem if the audio/video is compatible, but plex forces a transcode due to the app limit set to only 20 mbit.

xbox doesn't have a bitrate restriction with there media player app. l've played bitrates above 20mb without any transcoding. so its a plex app problem.

agree.. I just tried the media player last night and it worked.
Its not a big thing for the improvement of plex taking a while, but I hope its soon :)
Just get voting on the xbox feedback site.
Also check any other plex related items and vote for them too

Yes, but you have to realize that Microsoft also doesn't release all the same resources to 3rd party apps that they use for their own apps.
Normally when Plex puts a bit rate limit (or resolution limit) it is because during internal testing they were unable to get the device to stream under those conditions (or above in this case). Things may change as Microsoft has been adding and releasing more things to the 3rd party developers.
Your typical H264 movie file won't exceed 20Mbps until it's at leas 18-20GB in size, (heavily dependent on movie length and many other factors, but that's a good rough number).
