It’s limited to the transcode speed, but it’s important to keep in mind that e.g. if you transcode to a lower resolution especially it’ll usually transcode faster than realtime.

Supports downloading a server transcoded file? That’s amazing!
Would like to see an Fdroid version
You can just use Obtainium with the gh releases link
I too would rather have an F-droid version instead of having to use Obtainium. There is additional inherent trust by going through F-droid’s process.
From what I understand its still restrained by the server in real time so downloading a 2 hour movie would still take two hours 🥲
Is this a bug, or is it actually just limited to the transcode speed? I would love to read the incident/bug report about this.

Then it shouldn’t be limited. I can transcode a movie faster then I watch it even at higher quality.
Right, I just mean if your connection speed is faster than your server can transcode, then the transcode speed will be the bottleneck
FYI Jellyflix also supports that
Findroid also recently added this
Transcoding and transcoded downloads does not seem to be merged yet, altough there’s a working PR.

Ah yeah I forgot I was running the bleeding version, either way it will probably be stable soon ish
