There’s a number of related feature suggestions…
First of all, Im very excited that the possibility to turn video transcoding off finally is here. I love everything about it and I really couldnt ask for more. But I will anyways:
Would it be possible to allow home users to still transcode while excluding everyone else? I dont mind friends using my BW, I just dont want them to hog Resources from my CPU. But every now and then Id like to limit my own and my daughters BW usage when we are on the og so I would love to see a user differentiation
Please i want to be able to configure who can transcode and who can’t. I have a powerfull server but at some point are to manny user and i have a problem with this.
So I’m wondering is it possible to disable transcoding on a per user basis ?
I know this would give the affected users lot of “Your device does not support this format” errors but i’d rather have that then some users hogging all the CPU time.
This could simply be added as a check button in the restrictions tab,
Same goes for setting client playback quality from server side… however there’s already been lots of comments explaining that that’s killing the purpose (e.g. if you force users to play a 4K or high quality 1080p file in original quality over their mobile data plan).
