RFE: Add max bitrate option to the plugin settings #42

Open knokit opened 2 years ago

knokit commented 2 years ago

By default, the streaming uses the highest bitrate available.. for example, whenever I want to play RTP 1, always need to go to Settings > Select Program and choose a lower bitrate (typically 1290000 works fine).

It would be nice if we could set, for example, a max bitrate in the plugin settings, then all streamings would use this value to set the appropriate streaming quality.

IMHO we should add an option to use inputstream.adaptive to play the streams instead of the default (ffmpeg). Inputstream adaptive supports dynamic bandwidth adjustment in the new version (kodi nexus - v20). In alternative you can force a maximum bandwidth there so the correct substream/program is automatically selected. I don't think this belongs to the addon scope but rather to kodi config

I have no experience with writing kodi addons, but with some guidance I would be willing to help. Anyway, it seems to me that it makes sense to use inputstream.adaptive since it can dynamically adjust the bandwidth.. it would create a better UX.
