i would like to see a setting where i can say always stream original quality. now users start transcoding while my internet speed up and down is 1000 mbps so no problem sending it straight to them and now the videos are going from 1080p to 720p downgrading the video while 1080p is in and outbound no problem for the internet connection.

> 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.
