[Feature Request] - User Specific Transcoding Rights

Doing a quick search I was unable to find a similar request so here goes.

 

I would be great is it was possible to configure, if a user may stream using transcoding or only use direct play.

 

Having several users accessing a server, some are using transcoding even though the server and the user have the bandwith to use direct play, thus using a lot of CPU on the server.

The setting should be user specific.

 

Adding to the request, not knowing 100 % if this is already possible, it would be great if it was possible to set a max amount of simultaneous users using either transcoding and direct play.

As an example:

The server is set to allow two users to use transcode and three may use direct play.

Two users is streaming using transcoding and a third wants to transcode, then he/she get a message that it's not possible but direct play is available.
