so, i saw a brilliant bandwidth  
  
per user account request,  
  
but i’d like to up that:  
  
  
• calendar limit on specific content for a user  
  
(i’d only like to share out  
  
a particular show with  
  
user x for one month).  
  
  
• watch once than auto-unshare  
  
(so say i have a killer show  
  
i want them to watch,  
  
but once they do, i’d like  
  
it to no longer show up.)  
  
  
• number of episodes per day per user  
  
(i have a few abusers who are  
  
ruining things for the rest  
  
of my users; i’d like to cap them  
  
@ 3 episodes or 1.5 hrs, which  
  
ever happens first so they get  
  
on with their lives for the day+  
  
free the server up for other users).

> Hey &nbsp; First off, love Plex. Love it so much I bought a server just for it to go on and currently have around 2,000 movies and TV shows running on it. Also have Plex Pass &nbsp; I'd love to see a feature to be able to restrict access to Plex at certain time. &nbsp; My kids both have Now TV boxes,installed with Plex. I'd like to be able to stop Plex working after say 8PM on school nights, and 10PM on weekends for example. &nbsp; I have tried this with my router, but as they are not accessing the internet…

> A feature to enable limits on the number of plays per user or max time per day per user. I think this would be a great feature. Also, cut down if someone keeps a movie paused for hours. Maybe create a temporary revoke without having to reinvite the user. If anyone has any thoughts or know of a current capability that is able to accomplish this, that would be great. &nbsp; Thanks!

> 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…
