Higher bitrate setting

KlosiakMK opened this issue · comments

Description

Can I ask for adding a possibility to set a higher than 65000 Kbps bitrate in the settings menu, please?

Motivation

I would like to use the client with setting like 4K@120 with/without HDR. At the moment when using 4K@120 I can see artefacts caused by video compression on my streamed picture, even when I set max possible bitrate (65000) in the settings menu. For comparison I have been using GFE (host PC) and Moonlight (client on ShieldTV) and for 4K@60 Moonlight client sets automatically bitrate to 80000 for such resolution/fps and the same scene looks far better than 4K@120 65000 Kbps used on WebOS Moonlight client. In case of 4K@120 Moonlight native client sets bitrate to 113000 (which I can't use because Shield can output max 4K@60 through HDMI so it make no sense to use such setting). This is why I would like to switch to WebOS Moonlight version to use the goods of 120Hz panel of my LG C3 TV. TV is connected with PC by LAN network with ~200Mbps speed so there is a bandwidth to use higher bitrate.

Hi, this is not possible because webOS TV can't handle more than 65mbps.

@KlosiakMK Yes, exactly. webOS official doc says the maximum is 60mbps, and I tested that there's a high chance that the app will crash for any bitrate higher than 65mbps. And the performance worsens quickly when bitrate is over 40mbps.

Well, so I will need to find my sweet spot for 4K@120 streaming :) Now I can see on the LG webpage that 100Mbps bitrate is supported only by 8K Ultra HD screens. I will leave this here for the others. It is data from LG webpage for webOS TV 23.
