Client bitrate

[asidles]

Hello All,

I have recently setup NextPVR to accept remote clients. Through this I am able to stream OTA TV to remote devices. Everything works great except that the streams tend to crash fairly often, probably due the amount of data it is streaming. I've noticed there is a High Definition setting in the client setup area in setings, but when I uncheck it, it just comes back checked the next time I open Client settings. Don't know if this is experimental or not, but I was hoping this would allow me to lower the bitrate. Yes I know about the webpager, but it doesn't seem to work so well either, even though it does allow me to adjust the bitrate. What's irritating about all this is that it crashes kodi on the remote client.

I'm hoping that there is a fix for this or a change that I can make in a settings file to adjust the clikent birate.
Does anyone have any information on this or suggestions I can try?
Thank you in advance.

For most types of tuners, Kodi sent exactly what is received from the broadcaster. ie, they decide the bitrate. The only places you can control the capture bitrate is with analog tuners.

As an alternative, you could look into the XNEWA addon, which can use some experimental code for transcoding the stream sent to Kodi. This is not based on the normal Kodi PVR functionality, but a custom addon which provides a different interface to using NextPVR in Kodi.
