Per User Connection / Stream Limit Needed - Will Pay $ to Get It.

[jstevenson72]

Developers,

I have a very large (I think) Plex Server and many family members who make use of my content. Unfortunately some users don’t play nice and will use 2 or 3 streams from different devices at the same time.

Since many of my users are unaware how to adjust their Plex Clients to reduce the need to transcode, it sometimes puts a lot of stress on the server’s CPU.

I would pay $50 or more for a feature that would allow me to limit simultaneous streaming of content per user. Even a simple drop-down with “0,1,2,3,Unlimited” as choices on the Users screen would be sufficient.

Then I could temporarily suspend my children’s usage, or limit my in-laws to only one TV in their house at a time.

I’ve read many posts requesting this at various places, I hope you will consider this feature for your next development sprint.

Thank you,

Jason
