Please add more transcode bitrate options… specifically between 4 & 8mbps. I’m sure that broadband upload speeds of 5 - 8 mbps is extremely common, and it seems like a joke that the best granularity we get is either 4mbps 720p that looks like crap or 8mbps that constantly stops to buffer. I used to use 6mbps with emby which worked great, and I can’t believe plex still doesn’t have this option. The problem is compounded by Plex’s refusal to default to direct play even when the video bitrate is under the max remote stream bitrate and the client does support the codec. ---

I’ve been using it since XBMC 0.x and have never turned back! I’ve now moved to another country and therefore I’m exclusively relying on the upload speed of my internet speed back home where my Plex Server is still located. My upload speed is hovering between 5-5.5mbps. Unfortunately there isn’t an option between 4mbps 720p and 8mbps 1080p. I was wondering whether you could possibly introduce a lower barrier to 1080p entry … ---
