Option to define external (wan) library

I have 2 libraries in my setup:

  • A NAS inside my LAN
  • A google drive

Problem: Plex doesn’t know that the gdrive library is not local and is using bw to download/stream media (wan).
An option to define download capacity and flag certain libraries as “wan” would fix this this.

For those of us on slower ISP connections (sub 100Mbps) using cloud storage (rclone mounts) the detect intro process can completely flood my internet connection. Plex becomes almost unusable. Would be nice to have a way to throttle the detect intro traffic.

That could be useful. In the meantime, and in case you are not aware, you can limit intro detection to only be performed during scheduled tasks to limit its impact on your server’s performance. In Settings -> Library:

Thanks @pshanew. Something else that would be nice to see is required bandwidth for intro scanning in the dashboard.
