Is there a way to limit Syncing to when the server is discovered to be local? I understand there is a toggle to enable/disable cellular sync, but I am asking specifically to only sync when on Wifi AND on the local network.
The use case is that my upload at home is terrible, and the connection is metered. I would like to be able to queue up some conversions remotely, and have them download only when I get home.
The other common use case is that I will set off a bunch of conversions when at home and go to bed, thinking that they will all be on my phone when I wake up. Sometimes, the conversions complete, but the files don’t upload to my phone (plex process was killed off or put in background state. When I then get to work, connect to Wifi, and open plex, the downloading portion of the sync kicks off (exactly what I DON’T want to happen).

No, there is no server side setting for this.
