+1 for limiting stream bandwidth. A global setting would suffice, however per user setting would be ideal.
+1 most important outstanding feature.
Has Elan or another dev commented on this yet? Itās been 2 years.
This feature is really needed, I only have 4mbps upload and if 1 of my users leaves the remote at 4mbps he will hog all my bandwidth and other users get buffering. I am sure this can be implemented on the server as I was chatting with the guys at conceiva mezzmo and confirmed that the new mezzmo 5 soon to be released will be able to control bandwidth and transcoding per user. Hope this will be in plex as I would have to stop my plex pass and switch to mezzmo
I would love to see this feature. VOTE +1
I didnāt have any need for this when I was on a 50/10 connection. I moved recently and my only option is now 12/1 which it never gets and now when 1 user is streaming, it slows even web browsing on my end to a crawl. Iāve had to revoke access to my users. This feature is definitely needed.
To me, it would be enough to disallow direct play and force transcoding. so for me, +1
Does anyone know where this feature request falls in the āpriority scaleā of how many likes compared to other requests?
I donāt think Iāve seen another topic with more, yet this is one of the only ones without a Plex employee commentā¦ Some topics gets replies in a matter of hours, not YEARS and counting.
1+ you have my vote!

looks like what we are saying is going in 1 ear and out of the other , yesterday I had a friend with a Samsung tv was direct playing dollby digital 1080p movie so you can imagine the bandwidth and buffering, he could not find a way to turn off ac3 from plex app and gave up on watching it, If we can limit from our side it would be much nicer experience for both sides
The Plex teamās lack of response in a thread for a feature request as popular as this speaks louder than any post they could make. What they are telling us is that they have no intention of implementing these features and they are not willing to admit it for fear that many users will jump ship.
Funny enough, as Emby and other competitors continue to make strides, users are going to make that determination on their own when they realize they have no way to control remote usersā access to their Plex servers. Itās just so fundamentally erroneous I donāt even know what else to say about it.
I think I am going to run Emby in parallel to Plex and see which one I like more. Wish me luck.
+1 please, thank you.

I use both together. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Emby is great as it syncs with Kodi but their remote app leave a lot to desire. Plex is great for remote play but does not meet my needs for local playback.
Another vote for this please!
@elan. Any comment?

yep I setup an Emby server and am trying to slowly migrate some people over to thatā¦
honestly I wish there wasnāt a feature request forum, at least then it would be clear they donāt want themā¦ right now itās like screaming into a vacuum
Hi there,
a big +1 from my side. Controlling the maximum remote video quality (not bandwith as weāre not doing QoS here) per user is a must!
Itās just a cap - if I set the max remote quality for a user to 4MBit/s 720p, heāll be able to select even a lower one in the App or client - but canāt go higher!
I need to be sure to preserve a part of my 10MBit/s upload speed for important services - doing this in my router via QoS is the wrong way as then a remote access will face unwanted buffering.
+1ā¦so I donāt have to kick family off my server.
+1 for this. It would be nice to restrict bandwidth hogs server side so all can enjoy.
