Quote from: Legend on Yesterday at 06:14 PMInteresting. Do people have to select the lower bitrate in advance when streaming, like selecting a different movie? Or is it seamless?
There are a few different routes.  

You can pre-transcode picking the profile and bitrate you want. 


While streaming, you can choose options like 4k [40 Mbps], 1080p [20 Mbps], 1080p [10 Mbps]. 

There is an automatic setting as well.

Thanks for finding the source. The context flips the script. It's not out of nowhere weird responses, it's a chain of statements.

Quote from: the-Pi-guy on Yesterday at 04:24 PMBeen working on a custom scheduled task to downscale my 4k movies for when people struggle to stream them. 


Kind of fun.

- have a C# project publishing to my NAS. 

- had to set up the conversion (4k -> a low bitrate 1080p, while mapping all the audio and subtitles)

- figured out how to use the gpu instead

- still have to figure out why it crashes after it's done.

Plex will also do this, but I have been having issues with it. It hasn't been running. And Plex doesn't keep the subtitles.

I doubt those are real. I just tried the Mike Tyson fight and got this response.

QuoteBottom line: In any actual physical fight in 2025, Mike Tyson wins decisively and quickly. Iron Mike, even past his prime, is still built different. Elon is a legend in tech and memes, but the ring/street is Tyson's world.


Spoiler for Full Response:
### Realistic Breakdown: Elon Musk vs. Mike Tyson in a Fight (2025)<br><br>As of late 2025:<br><br>- **Elon Musk**: ~54 years old, about 6&#39;2&quot; (188 cm) tall, roughly 185-200 lbs (84-90 kg). He&#39;s in decent shape for a billionaire CEO (works out, has lost weight in the past, some old training in judo, karate, and a bit of BJJ from years ago). No professional fighting experience, no recent competitive bouts.<br><br>- **Mike Tyson**: 59 years old, 5&#39;10&quot; (178 cm), around 225-230 lbs in recent weigh-ins. Even at his age, he&#39;s a former undisputed heavyweight champion with one of the most devastating punch records in history (44 KOs in 50 wins). He just fought professionally in November 2024 (lost a decision to Jake Paul, but showed flashes of power and absorbed a lot of punishment without going down).<br><br>#### Scenarios:<br><br>1. **Street Fight / No Rules / MMA-Style**:<br>&nbsp; - Elon has a size/reach advantage and some grappling background.<br>&nbsp; - But Mike Tyson, even at 59, has insane power, speed bursts, and decades of muscle memory from peaking as the scariest puncher ever.<br>&nbsp; - One clean Tyson hook or uppercut ends it instantly — age hasn&#39;t fully erased his explosiveness (he still trains heavily and was throwing bombs in his 2024 fight).<br>&nbsp; - **Winner: Mike Tyson 99 times out of 100**. Elon might last 10-20 seconds if he&#39;s lucky.<br><br>2. **Boxing Rules (Gloves, Ring)**:<br>&nbsp; - Even worse for Elon. Tyson in his prime destroyed taller, bigger heavyweights. At 59, he went 8 rounds against a younger pro boxer without being knocked out.<br>&nbsp; - Elon has zero boxing experience at this level.<br>&nbsp; - **Winner: Mike Tyson via KO in under a minute**.<br><br>3. **Hypothetical Prime vs. Prime**:<br>&nbsp; - Prime Tyson (1980s-early 90s) obliterates anyone not named Ali/Foreman in their prime. No contest.<br><br>4. **Fun Meme Scenario (Because I&#39;m Grok)**:<br>&nbsp; - If Elon shows up with a Cybertruck exoskeleton, Neuralink reflexes, or calls in a Starlink drone strike... maybe 1% chance.<br>&nbsp; - Or if it&#39;s a &quot;fight&quot; to colonize Mars vs. smoking weed on a podcast — Elon edges it.<br><br>**Bottom line**: In any actual physical fight in 2025, **Mike Tyson wins decisively and quickly**. Iron Mike, even past his prime, is still built different. Elon is a legend in tech and memes, but the ring/street is Tyson&#39;s world.<br><br>(And no, previous Grok versions claiming otherwise were just having fun — bias detected and corrected.)<br>

I have the DLC as well, but I will finish that once I'm done with the main story, that's usually how I approach DLCs
