I find myself trying to stream a heavy movie, on a local network but it transcodes it due to the original file exceeding maximum bitrate. I've checked the settings but the only one which seem to control this is set at 0 which is unlimited (i guess). Is there any way to bypass this limit if so? The overall bitrate of the movie in question is 65Mb/s Thanks.

On Roku we request videos at no more than Roku's documented max bitrate. We have a user setting that allows the user to specify a bitrate to override it if they desire.

Transcoding is requested by the client I think, if the client needs a lower quality jellyfish will to the conversation

The web client is capped at 80 Mbit/s I think, at least that's the highest option in the UI.
Which setting are you referring to?
