let me give you an example of what happened over the last week , so i set up 2-3 people on my plex server , set their bandwidth to 4 mbps on their android apps and told them how to use it. ( they cast to a chromecast from their android devices )
Now sometime recently all the apps were updated and all my settings were gone, i only found this out when i had messages saying they were getting buffering, ( they were all trying to direct stream!!!) .
This is BAD, these are not technical people and even finding the settings is hard enough for them.
My workaround was to change the xml file to limit the chromecast bandwidth to a 4 mbps max, so whatever their settings that’s the max they get , they all use chromecast so it works but this isn’t ideal… right now there’s no better method!
Need to be able to set a bandwidth limitation per user!
please please!
Limit remote video quality
You can set the maximum speed at which any individual playback stream can upload. For instance, you might decide that you don’t want any individual remote stream to go over 4 Mbps, even if you have a higher total internet upload speed and allow multiple streams.
