Thank you very much for your suggestion!
As a temporary workaround for mediathek shows you can share indiviual qualities to your favourite video player.
it will not even play when trying to load in high bitrate
This should never happen. Can you provide an example video that does not play back correctly?
Live streaming has a completely diferrent technical setup than mediathek shows. It should already use adaptive streaming and use the correct bitrate, framerate and video size depending on network quality, screen size and device capabilities.
Mediathek shows consist of up to three separate mp4 files. There is currently no elegant way to seamlessly sand adaptively switch between them
I see a view improvements we can make to address your issues:
Hallo,
thx for this beautiful app.
It would be nice to have an option to force use different bitrate/quality settings for reasons:
Please make an option to stream mediathek in low bitrate also, as there is in the download section.
There's also an app called Bradybound (com.oxplot.bradybound.8.apk), which can limit the dl speed (but will ignore the upload speed). This could be helpful for live streaming, if it automatically switches to lower qualities, which otherwise isn't able to load in low bitrate/quality. I just tried Bradybound set to ca. 100-300 KB/s with streaming from mediathek. It doesn't lower the bitrate sadly like it would when streaming from the website or mediathekviewweb.de. It instead stops, then caches and plays the next chunks as possible. With live TV streaming this Bradybound limiting method works (you can see the difference in the channel logos), but this method is limiting the whole Android bandwith until you change it again. Is there another way to force live streaming to use lowest settings by default?
Thx in advance!
