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 t…

I’ve asked this multiple times. It makes no sense why default is 4 and nothing else. Hell I’ll take original plus automatic quality as a setting at this point. So many friends just look at it as “looks fine to me!” and at 4mb it will stay for the rest of their lives.

I second this. I promise to start paying for a Plex Pass again when this feature is implemented. (I stopped because none of the new features are relevant to me. I don’t want nor need DVR, news or podcasting.)

The current default behaviour has legitimately caused rifts in the relationships of me and about 75% of my users. I would pay a huge amount of money to Plex if they fixed this. Heck, I would change the name of my first born child to: Plex is the greatest invention in the history of mankind and you …

I would prefer them to enable default ‘automatically adjust’ in the mean time; [image] Limit remote stream bitrate one idea I have, is if you have particularly troublesome user(s), is to create a video explaining how to change their plex client and give them access ONLY to that video/library. c…

This is most stupidest and annoying thing ever for me using Plex. Everytime i share my plex server or sign in to a different device its set to 720p! Why on Earth is it set 720p by default? Not only is does it ruin the ORIGINAL quality (which it should be on anyways) but it buffers! Please change …

Looks like Plex is gonna let this one get locked in 20 days … now 30 days

I’ve just opened a similar feature request that was closed, but it might explain it better, so I am linking to it [image] Allow setting on the server: Minimum remote quality video/audio hopefully to "Maximum"/"Original" Feature Suggestions Please see the following discussi…

It’s up to the clients to specify quality, right? Nobody wants their phone data bundle get eaten up by some server ignoring your limits - one single 4k movie is enough to wipe out a 50 GB monthly data bundle for example, while a 720p transcode takes only 1-2 GB. If you control your clients, simply …
