So it has been nearly 8 months since “Streaming Brain” debuted with a global per stream quality limit and global total bandwidth limit, but no enhancements have been made in that time. Now that the base features exist, I am sure many of us think it would be nice if per stream limit could be moved i…

+1 to this feature. I’d love to limit bandwidth to other people on my server, but make it so I can have full bandwidth without having to go to my server page every time i’m away from home. even if i’m watching shows on my lunch.

Yes, this is a very good feature. In China, our upload is only 30M=3M/s. When multiple people watch, everyone does not have a good experience. Limiting everyone’s bandwidth separately is a good solution. Both jellyfin and emby can be customized for everyone. I hope the official can consider joining.…

This seems reeeally easy to implement. Could it be our lucky day soon? Really old, popular, easy feature request that could be an easy win for the blessed Plex dev who takes this on. Extremely surprised it’s gone this long without being implemented with so many people wanting, or arguably needing th…

+1 For this and to bump this feature request again. I had considered using Emby for this feature, but stuck with Plex.

Pleeeeeeeeeease I have mediocre upload speed and a monthly data cap. Some of my users would appreciate better quality, and some wouldn’t notice either way.

Would love to see this implemented. Up until recently I had only granted access to my non-4K libraries and enforced a 12Mbps global limit, but I want one of my users to have access to my 4K library without a bandwidth limit. It’s quite impractical to now ask every other user to set an appropriate li…

This request has been here for a few months shy of 8 years - and due to the fact that Plex has remote apps, I’m very surprised this hasn’t been implemented. The problem is, I’ve set bandwidth limits on my server, but unless I go and set limits to each client that is connected remotely, then all it …

Wow ,nearly missed the fact that I had +1’d this myself over 5y ago and here were are still without this feature. Doesn’t seem like it would be that difficult to implement, really puzzling how it hasn’t been done.
