Hey guys, I have a little problem with my PLEX. The Quality for Remote Devices is set to 4 Mbps 720p by default [https://cdn.treudler.net/shared/screenshots/71aa09cebc5da798eea4bc965f400749.png](https://cdn.treudler.net/shared/screenshots/71aa09cebc5da798eea4bc965f400749.png) That means that PLEX has do transcode most of the watched ressources. Is there any way to set the default quality to Original for all users? Joshua ---

That setting is only for your Web player, in that browser on that computer. It does not impact other users, clients or even a different browser on the same computer. There is not much one can do to control clients, Plex is client-centric in most parts (afaik). ---

There is not much one can do to control clients, Plex is client-centric in most parts (afaik). Thank you for your answer. I would like to see this option in the future. It’s not okay to force users to transcode… ---

Sorry, I think we’re misunderstanding eachother. I’ll try again. They’re not being forced as such, you are. If the user choses to (in his app/client) the “wrong” resolution/bitrate he then forces your server to transcode (or send a very high bitrate file at full speed). If it can’t (due to weak CPU or limited bandwith) it won’t work. As a Plex server owner, catering to remote users one has to either instruct all users how to operate and set their clients as to not max your bandwidth or CPU - or have (more or less, ofc) unlimited of both so as the users doesn’t have to care at all. ---
