horstepipe 356 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) hey because of bandwidth or hardware performance limitations it would be a good administration feature to limit and prioritize active watching users. E.g. max users: 3 user A: priority 1 user B: priority 2 user C: priority 3 user D: priority 4 When all users watch simultaneously, user A gets kicked and (optionally) gets a notification via pushbullet (or email or whatever notification service is set up) about what happened. The feature could be extended by time limits: User A watches a video with a remaining time x. When x is smaller than a predefined value, user A may finish the video and user D gets notified about it.

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 When all users watch simultaneously, user A gets kicked... Wouldn't D get kicked since they are the lowest priority? Why kick the person with the highest priority? Or is that a typo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horstepipe 356 Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 I thought the higher value has the higher priority, this way it works in my router. But this is only a question of definition and can be handled however you want :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Just asking for clarification. My system is limited to 6 users anyway. After that, there is no one left to log in and I don't allow guests from outside the LAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horstepipe 356 Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Yeah I'm having only 4 users (family), too. But they all access the server outside the LAN. Because the server runs on a quite weak Synology, transcoding is not possible here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37116 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 what you can do for now is take transcoding access away from certain users, if that would be acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horstepipe 356 Posted May 10, 2016 Author Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) I have to disable it for all users, because the NAS hasn't enough power for even one job.But my upstream allows smooth direct play to 3 users, only when a fourth comes up it starts stuttering on all devices.

marauder 17 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I was just going to create a post for something similar to this. To have a user priority system, so if there aren't enough resources, like bandwidth or CPU the user with the higher priority gets preference.
