For that case there is this: > [@Default All Clients to Max Internet Streaming](https://forums.plex.tv/t/default-all-clients-to-max-internet-streaming/440641): > > My server keeps getting bogged down transcoding for no reason because clients have a low default setting for internet streaming. They are all capable of streaming original quality, and since I’ve been converting a lot of my files to x265, the transcoded 720p version ends up having a higher bitrate than the original does in 1080 or 4k. Please please please allow the server to choose to default the client bandwidth setting to original by default and save my poor server. Thats the original feature request. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/please-add-no-transcoding-option-directplay-only/810862)._
