> [@Default All Clients to Max Internet Streaming](https://forums.plex.tv/t/default-all-clients-to-max-internet-streaming/440641): > > 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. Reading and voting in that Feature Request - will give you some idea what you’re up against. Someone will be along shortly to close your thread if it’s determined to be a duplicate. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/avoid-transcoding-if-multiple-versions/725020)._
