I share my Plex server with a lot of friends, and I'd like to be able to cap how many can use it at once. I'd also like to always have a seat available for my use. Maybe an override password?

I have been thinking something similar. I agree, this would be good for us who share with all our friends.
Man this would be a nice feature. Only so much bandwidth and processing to go around!

This would greatly help those of us with limited upload bandwidth. I only have 5Mbps upload and I limit the remote stream bitrate to 4Mbps. Plex currently forces a second remote stream and transcodes it to a much lower quality in order to fit the remaining bandwidth. I would rather avoid this by limiting the maximum number of remote streams to 1 and have a message pop up in the second remote user’s client that says something like “The maximum number of remote streams has been reached. Please try…
Hello,
I want to suggest some feature that will let you set priority for remote streams and users. What I mean is some kind of bandwidth QoS.
Lets say there are 3 users. User 1 have highest priority and user 3 have lowest priority. Now all 3 users will start some stream so there are 3 streams but your internet bandwidth can handle maximum 2 streams (without any other load) so instead of 3 bad stream with lots of buffering, only user 3 will experience that issue. With additional non-PLEX intern…
