IPTV Players that adjust Stream quality ?

by metrotorch

Are there IPTV Players for Windows or android that adjust the stream quality to your internet connection, or let you manually adjust it.

Is that possible.

No. That is not possible from a player prospective because that is a server function. The IPTV server is the one sending the bits and it would need to determine if the connection is not fast enough and to send less bits at a time. You could, in theory, achieve this by setting up a Plex, Emby or Jellyfin server in the cloud somewhere. The IPTV stream would then be handled by this server allowing you to do real time transcoding and thus lower the bit-rate being sent to your home location. This would be a fairly advanced setup and would also cost some money since you have to lease a VPS server powerful enough to do real time transcoding.

Most IPTV services you are talking about just have one stream quality and can't adjust like a more premium service (Fubo; Dish; Youtube, etc.).

Think you all need to read into mpegts and hls.

Assuming this is what you mean. TS is faster because it just starts streaming the 2Mb stream. HLS has to kind of negotiate which stream is best for your connection. It takes a fraction of a second longer to start up, but can be better quality than TS (due to higher bit rate if possible) and more reliable than TS (due to lower bit rate if needed).

Of course, if your hypothetical provider above offers TS at 2Mb and HLS at 1, 1.5, and 2Mb, then TS is exactly the same as the best HLS without the small delay, but also without the slow connection fallback.

Every provider has a different TS/HLS setup, so these numbers are just examples!

Or are generally wanting stream quality that auto change from like 720p to 1080i/p
