bandwidth - add-ons/plugin.video.vrt.nu GitHub Wiki
De Nederlandse vertaling is beschikbaar via Bandbreedte.
Included in v1.10.0
By default the VRT NU add-on does not limit the bandwidth (Internet usage) and will favour the best quality stream available. However in some cases you may want to limit the bandwidth usage for a lower quality stream.
You can limit the bandwidth for Kodi globally, this is done from the Kodi settings:
Settings » System » Internet access » Internet connection bandwidth limitation
BEWARE: Not all add-ons adhere to this global Kodi setting, however the VRT NU add-on does.
If you only want to limit the bandwidth for the VRT NU stream, you can do this in the Add-on settings:
Settings - VRT NU » Playback » Maximum bandwidth (kbps)
When you limit the bandwidth you will be affecting the quality of the stream. How bandwidth affects quality depends on the used stream format (codec and encoding options).
The below list was made by looking at a stream's manifest, your mileage may vary.
Bandwidth limit | Format | Quality | Remark |
---|---|---|---|
256 kbps | 234p | 416x234 | |
512 kbps | 270p | 480x270 | |
1024 kbps | 360p | 640x360 | |
1536 kbps | 432p | 768x432 | |
2048 kbps | 540p | 960x540 | Maximum for most VRT NU streams |
3072 kbps | 720p | 1280x720 | Only for Live TV streams, see HD quality |
5120 kbps | 1080p | 1920x1080 | VRT NU does not provide 1080p HD streams |
