sfnetwork 514 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I don't know how I should vote on this... Why can't I have my cake AND eat it to. Here's my thinking. 1. Keep the hard limit max WAN bitrate option. 2. Also implement an admin-controlled per-user "max bitrate per stream" option. 3. Implement an admin-controlled per-user "max number of simultaneous streams" option to work along with the above control. In the absence of any limits for the options listed above, the limit defaults to the previous level of control. I agree with this. plus maybe a "per site" or "external IP" limit. Just per user or device won't do anything useful IMO. Users can't be anywhere from any device... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThermoDust 12 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 It'd be nice to have both. But at this point last I looked most apps(devices) had options to set the stream. Where a per-user would be better IMO as it would follow them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pir8radio 1292 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/49713-322616-user-bitrate-setting/ When will this make its way to the stable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 In the next stable release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hopefully the people who are still voting realize that we have the per-user setting now 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schamane 18 Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) I have another question about bandwidth. Lets say I have 20 Mbit Upload and user A uses 15 Mbit of it. Now User B connects and the movie he like to stream needs 14 Mbit, so in total it would be 29 Mbit and no one is able to stream without issues. So it would be nice to have some sort of a feature like Max Bandwidth divided through active Users. So if I have 2 active Users, both get 10 , but if only one is active give him as much as possible. Or maybe the Max Bandwidth Limitatiton under Playback > Streaming is already doing something like this? I mean to limit every Device is nice, but I guess most people have more users then Bandwidth but not every user is active all the time Cheers Edit: As a plus, a message sent to the user like "force Transcoding, not enough Bandwidth" or similar to to client woudl be awesome, so he knows why it is stuttering for a short time Edited December 19, 2018 by schamane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 It's problematic to "split" bandwidth unless Emby takes up what Plex does. Plex has dynamic bandwidth adjusting which allows the transcoder to change bandwidth on the fly as needed. The problem is that you really can't direct play videos anymore in this fashion because there is no way to dynamically change the bitrate unless the files is running through the transcoder. In order to do this things that direct play now at best would direct stream. Then bitrate adjustments could be made. Typically instead of streaming a MP4/mkv files you would not also need to use HLS which means lots of small segments being written to disk which raises the IO requirements of the machine as well. There are definitely Pros and Cons to doing things like this and just thought I'd throw this out for anyone who hasn't thought about how this would likely need to work.

jayw654 5 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Also make sure its based on ACTIVE streams. Meaning a user can be logged in 50 times but if a user is set to 2 streams and only 1 is active they can still start another stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebps01 6 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 it would be better if the server administrator could limit how many devices that user can use in their profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 it would be better if the server administrator could limit how many devices that user can use in their profile It is in progress. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/77710-4309-simultaneous-video-stream-limits/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch 19 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 plus 1 for this... and definitely per device makes more sense guysss come onnnnn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Plus 1 for what? Have you explored the options that we have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
