Ive started to run into issues with sharing my server out with friends who have basically made me their new Netflix. I dont really mind except when family members want to log in and watch something. It would be nice if we have a reserved slot system where you can set a flag on someone’s account and say you have a 3 user limit, set it to 4. That 4th slot is unavailable to anyone without the reserved slot flag. When someone logs in with the flag, the last person to join without the flag gets disconnected and the count goes back to 3 in use with 1 reserved.

Just a thought. I looked through feature requests and didnt see anything like that out there. Might be useful for others.

> Hello, I want to suggest some feature that will let you set priority for remote streams and users. What I mean is some kind of bandwidth QoS. Lets say there are 3 users. User 1 have highest priority and user 3 have lowest priority. Now all 3 users will start some stream so there are 3 streams but your internet bandwidth can handle maximum 2 streams (without any other load) so instead of 3 bad stream with lots of buffering, only user 3 will experience that issue. With additional non-PLEX intern…
