Choose enhanced mode in Serviigo and pick the quality other than original.

I tried it and it worked but I am still not satisfied. When I use enhanced profile to play an hd video I get a choice of 3 qualities.
original , middle, low.
Using original ends up with no transcoding. Using middle reduces also the resolution and creates block artefacts.
What I want is a recoding without lowering the resolution.
As I said this works when using the chrome browser, so I hope I can get it to work with ServiiGo too.
If I have to tweak some settings than I am ready to do that.

I have my serviio server at home and my new fire tv 4k at my summer house. I have a permanent vpn tunnel between the two locations.
I am using mediabrowser on my ipad to stream videos to my tv via hdmi cable. Works perfect but I always have to walk to the tv to operate that installation.
Now I want to improve that installation an use the fire tv for that.
I installed serviiGo and mx player and vlc player on the box.
I could easily connect to my serviio but when I play videos I found out that no transcoding occurred and hd videos could therefore not be played without stutter.
Then I tried to use chrome on the Fire tv and mediabrowser and could show that it works like a charm with transcoding and the same hd videos but the handling is terrible as you can imagine.
Now my question is how can I force transcoding while using serviiGo ?
My Server is Win7 64 and the version is 5.x.

Sometimes it works (less & less, maybe 1 out of 5 times) and the other times I get error 502. Began about Sept 21 for me but noticed a couple other users in the Google Chromecast forums are having the same error with another app. At first I thought maybe an update to Chromecast broke something but neither the app, the router or the Chromecast have been updated recently. Internet appears to be working fine otherwise without issue. Other apps I have tried like Youtube seem to connect and cast just fine without issue or error. Until the error began showing, Serviio was 1.6.1. Both households have now been updated to 1.7. I have also tried Serviio 1.5.2. None of that resolved the issue. Today during one of the attempts to connect, the Chromecast seemed to have crashed & randomly rebooted itself. Attached is a screenshot.
I suspect it is a Chromecast or Google issue since it was working just fine and the error just recently started to appear without any configuration changes.
Anyone else having this issue or have any ideas what it could be or how to fix it? If you need more info just ask me. Thanks

What comes to mind is when the Chromecast icon is clicked in Serviigo, does the splash screen that shows the Serviigo icon and says "Ready to Cast" stored in the app and sent to the Chromecast directly or is it pulled from say a Google server location?
Some of my tests have resulted in either the error shown above, sometimes a black screen and sometimes it shows the Serviigo App details on the lower left of the screen but not the Serviigo icon in the middle of the screen. Just hoping this info can maybe help narrow down the issue. Then it returns to the wallpaper slideshow after about 1 minute. Thanks

Yes you are right, it's hosted on Google Drive and something seems to have changed/broken. I will try to fix it but I'm stupidly busy at the moment.

Anyway, I added a new album of mp3 music and serviio ofc picked it up and added it to it's library. The music plays perfectly fine on windows Groove, WMP12, and serviio's built in webserver. However, since adding, everytime I tap on an album, genre, or anything that will bring up songs in ServiioGo.. the app crashes and I get a message telling me it's sent a crash report. I have no error number, mention of any log saved on my phone, no way to figure out why it's crashing.
Videos, and pictures, are unaffected and work/play without issue.
Edit: Forgot to note, I am on android 4.4 kitkat and the app version is 4.4.1

just a small question from my site. I decided to disable the category music due to the fact that I have no content in it. Nevertheless serviigo still shows me all three categories (music, photos and movies), MediaBrowser hides the category. Are there any hints or is it a bug?
I use the following:
- Serviio Pro 1.8
- Serviigo 4.4.1
- Android 6.1
Thanks a lot!
