Is there a way to make it so anyone connecting remotely to my server is limited to a SD stream?  My data is getting chewed up at an alarming rate because most of my content is HD.  TIA!

Hi, yes, absolutely. Have you explored the internet streaming bitrate limit in advanced server settings?

 

If you want to limit them to SD, try 3 Mbps. Please note you'll see more transcoding by doing this.

Go to server settings -> advanced at the bottom you have internet streaming rate and put a limit there.

You have a global or per user "Internet streaming bitrate limit".
 

Global - each stream is limited to set rate.  Dashboard-Advanced

Per User - set their max streaming rate.

 

Looks like I typed to slow.

I note that the server setting is only bitrate, whereas the user setting can also specify resolution.  The server setting therefore carries the risk of producing poor quality at high resolution rather than better quality at a lower resolution.

No it won't because it will also scale down the resolution at lower bitrates.
