This would be great! Especially when watching stuff on the trains!

222

Isnā€™t this implemented now? Some times I will check my streaming out and the status says ā€œBuffering.ā€

223

I thought that this was already implemented but realized that it is not. I think this ā€˜featureā€™ is the most important one.

224

it is the most important one without any doubt

225

Feature is definitely needed 110%

hear hear! keep the dream alive! :stuck_out_tongue:

227

needed this years ago!

228

yes please! +1

Good idea, although I think this should be an option.

If this isnā€™t a feature yet, it should be. I have the fastest internet service my cable company offers. Average upload is 21.74 MPS upload, 61.41 down and I still have buffering issues when using wifi hotspots, even the ones provided thru my cable provider.

I would love to see this feature asap!

However i noticed the post was made on August 2012 and edited December 2014.

Can someone confirm if this is in the works?

232

Only Plex developers could confirm if they are working on this or not, but they are most probably not going to comment on that until itā€™s ready to ship.

The edit just means the original poster of this feature request amended his post to add or correct something, nothing more.

233

Itā€™s a shame this is a request made in 2014, yet itā€™s 2017 and still not implemented. I signed up for the Plex Pass as well, and this is becoming more and more of a problem for me as content gets larger.

234

This would solve so many problems for my weak connection, i have only 15mb upload.

235

Any plans for this feature??

Still hoping!

I think the hold up on a feature like this is that itā€™s dependent on how much memory the front-end device has which more often than not isnā€™t much. Certainly not enough to warrant above and beyond attention.

Thereā€™s syncing (still needs to hit more devices) which allows you to bypass RAM restrictions and just store it locally.

Good ideaā€¦

Yeahā€¦ But, if Youtube can do itā€¦
