Hifi Rose 250A

[Wolf 359]

Hi I have an android based streamer, the Hifi Rose 250A. VLC app is installed on it to play MKV's. The only problem is it resamples everything. Is there a way to play back at original bit rate in VLC on this player? I have the settings I can find set up correctly. TIA!

I'm not sure I understand how your setup works. You have VLC for Android installed on it. On what type of device does it streams? How do you access this stream?

Hi Aza! It is a music player first and foremost. It also streams video from a local source, such as MKVs on a hard drive. It then plays to the TV and to a stereo.

Hope that clears it up!

So this device streams and you play it on your TV using VLC, am I right? If so, it's Your Hifi Rose's internal software that is resampling, not VLC.

I don't see where you get to that conclusion? Can you elaborate?
edit: Not saying you are wrong, just curious about your reasoning.

When playing a video, VLC just reads what it receives. It can be from the file system or a server. If your video is down sampled, it cannot be VLC's fault.

To verify what VLC is reading, you can, in the video player, tap the 3 dots at the bottom right corner > Video information. You will see exactly what VLC is receiving (definition, codecs, framerate, ...) and then can verify if it matches your original file.

It reads from a ssd in the player.
I don't have three dots on my version.

Between your player and your TV, the video is sent through your network, right? In VLC, to access your media, you go in the network section if I understand correctly.

I don't have three dots on my version.

All versions of VLC have that:
