Download control

[N0X 6]

When users download they are not seen, only in the log it says that a download was started. I would like a section to be created where the downloads and the percentage are listed, also that the download bandwidth can be controlled for each user.

I've always thought that the User streaming bandwidth would make more sense if it was Assigned bandwidth per user: you give him X Mbps and he can do whatever he wants - stream, download or whatever, single or multiple items, all within the available limit.

There is a "Downloads" section in the server dashboard that shows all downloads, completed and in-progress.

That's only used for downloads scheduled by the android, ios, windows and macos apps. It's not used for the on-demand browser downloads.

What about them? There is no display of a history of those, but it is possible for the future. Thanks.

It would be very helpful if all downloads are shown regardless of origin

Yesterday I watched a user try and use the download functionality on Emby Theater. They just had no idea what was happening once they'd hit the download button.

I think it would be great if there was a progress bar on Emby Theater, just like we have on android. This would allow the user to know what's happening with the download.

Being able to check the progress on the sever is no help to the remote user unfortunately.

 

As a bonus could we get

1) estimated file size for each download quality and the original ( I know they can just scroll down and see the file size of the original )

2) the free space on their hard drive

3) estimated download time

4) an option to cancel or pause the download

5) prevent windows going to sleep during the download

 

Thanks

Hi, yes these are good ideas that we can look at. Thanks for the feedback.
