It would be really nice to have a per user/friend quality limitation that you can set. Also in the now playing tab to be able to see what bitrate they are streaming at. ---

Great idea This has already been demanded 100 times in the old forum and also here 3 threads are surely already open which wish themselves that. It would be good if the admins could gather all this maybe once, unfortunately there were only a few votes in the new forum, but in the old one there were a lot of contributions in the first post, which was marked as Implemented after the streaming brain was brought, but just it was much more wished than that was implemented so far. I would also very much like this, it would be even better to be able to make the complete settings for the user, to release the devices, etc. as well. Currently you simply have no control how and where you look. I have been struggling with some users for months because the settings are never as planned/desired. But often not only the user is to blame. I noticed that the values are reset every time a new version is released. Of course, this is not solved in a server admin-friendly way at all. But unfortunately, they’ve been talking against a wall here for more than two years. It’s a pity that the creators don’t deal with the community any more and only do what you want. In the VR matter flows enormously much attention I have the feeling although I am sure that not even 1% of all users use this. But other things which I and many others find important have been ignored for years. ---

A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes. > [@Feature request: per user bandwidth limits](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-per-user-bandwidth-limits/192859/1): > > So it has been nearly 8 months since “Streaming Brain” debuted with a global per stream quality limit and global total bandwidth limit, but no enhancements have been made in that time. Now that the base features exist, I am sure many of us think it would be nice if per stream limit could be moved in to the users → friends → restrictions panel just the same way library access is. It logically would seem to fit there, since that is where the other restrictions reside. I want to restrict certain… Therefore this one is closed. Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it. * * * Please **search** before creating a new suggestion thread.
