More advanced user bandwidth management features

[archangelz 13]

It would be really nice if there were more advanced user management features in mediabrowser server. 

Downloads and streaming both use a large amount of bandwidth, mediabrowser could really use features to manage these. 

Things that would be nice to see include:

- UI based download, sync and streaming logging (what user download/streamed what and associated bandwidth used)

- Time based download bandwidth usage schedule (download speed limits with and without scheduling)

- Time based streaming bitrate schedule (bitrate speed limits with and without scheduling)

- Separate internal network vs. external network bandwidth controls

- User group identity/policy management. (ability to edit a group of users at the same time)

- User data caps

Curious if there is any news on this particular ask? It would be nice to gauge usage since I now am running about ten users with various levels of access. Would be nice to have graphs and stuff of who is doing what. 

 

Thanks a bunch.

For now, you can choose to disallow transcoding for specific users, disallow sync transcoding, and you can also set a global outgoing bitrate limit per stream.
