I'm trying to watch quite a high definition video from my Plex Server onto my Chromecast. It is quite high quality but I created the video myself to be within the limits of Chromecast, x264 video, AAC audio, no subtitles. 20000 bitrate as 30000 is apparently it's limit.

I even changed the Chromecast.xml profile and increased the maxBitrate from 12000 to 30000 but in the logs it is saying this:

This makes absolutely no sense to me as this is my profile setting:

<TranscodeTargetProfiles>
    <VideoTranscodeTarget protocol="http" context="streaming">
      <VideoCodec name="*">
        <Limitations>
          <UpperBound name="video.width" value="1920" />
          <UpperBound name="video.height" value="1080" />
          <UpperBound name="video.bitrate" value="30000" isRequired="false" />
        </Limitations>
      </VideoCodec>
    </VideoTranscodeTarget>
    <VideoTranscodeTarget protocol="dash" context="streaming">
      <VideoCodec name="*">
        <Limitations>

          <UpperBound name="video.height" value="1080" />
          <UpperBound name="video.bitrate" value="30000" isRequired="false" />
        </Limitations>
      </VideoCodec>
    </VideoTranscodeTarget>
  </TranscodeTargetProfiles>

So now I'm entirely stuck for ideas and getting pretty frustrated so any help would be greatly appreciated.
