Load-balanced shared libraries so that a Plex client can select from a group of shared Plex Media Servers the server with the fewest number of active remote sessions.

&nbsp;

Let's say I have two friends (Joe and Bob) sharing their libraries with me. &nbsp;Each one of those friends has the same video I want to watch. &nbsp;When I fire up Plex to watch the video the client would see that Joe's server has other remote connections so it would automatically pull the video from Bob's server that isn't busy. &nbsp;

&nbsp;

This would save having to share bandwidth and CPU resources with the other people who are currently viewing videos on Joe's server.
