It would be great if I can change the streaming quality from the Activity Dashboard, similar to how I can stop a stream from there.
My entire family uses my plex server, with some family members being technology savy and others not so much. I walked them through setting remote quality to Original for all their devices, so by default they stream at that quality. It would be great if I could manually override that setting just for that current stream. For instance, they start streaming a 15Mbp…
My server keeps getting bogged down transcoding for no reason because clients have a low default setting for internet streaming. They are all capable of streaming original quality, and since I’ve been converting a lot of my files to x265, the transcoded 720p version ends up having a higher bitrate than the original does in 1080 or 4k.
Please please please allow the server to choose to default the client bandwidth setting to original by default and save my poor server.
Therefore this one is closed.
