I've checked AVSForum but didn't find a matching discussion. There are many threads there, yet none seem to cover this comparison. You might need to search more specifically or check other communities for relevant info.

You can simply press ctrl alt shift s. The only devices that reach 5800kbps are Internet Explorer on Windows 8, the Netflix App, Safari in Yosemite, Chromecast, and Apple TV (probably). All other options cap at 3000kbps.

It might be better to use the Netflix app for quality since you're on version 8.1. Regarding the bitrate, I don't have access to the app's details—could you check the settings or ask the user directly?

The bitrate remains consistent across IE and the app, though Chrome limits itself to 3mbps. The quality must stay uniform at the same bitrate because it will apply the video optimization options set in your driver preferences.

Viewing that clip triggers the automatic play feature.

It's strange; the video appears in all browsers, so I thought it would function with the app as well.

Those figures refer to 1080p streaming. Those are the data rates for Blu-Ray devices. I’m unsure about the bit rate for computer web browsers. A 64-bit Chrome or IE 11 should handle 1080p streaming, roughly around 6mbps. For 720p, it’s about 3mbps. I own a Sony Blu-ray player that only plays 720p and another that supports 1080p. The difference is clear. The latter also offers 5.1 surround sound.
