multi segmented stream

[sparra 0]

There is a big need for either multi segmented streaming or the ability to cache alot further ahead than is currently possible in either emby or plex. I currently run a server in the US and stream to AUS. My VPS is capable of 1gb/s upload and my home internet is 50mb/s download but because of bad peering and latency I can only stream movies upto 8mb/s MAX on a good day. If i use multi segmented downloads through filezilla i can saturate my 50mb/s connection. If you were to solve this problem, it would be a game changer and probably convert alot of longtime plex users like myself over to your platform.

Hi, why do you see this as a game changer? How would you use it?

A lot of the time in high traffic times my connection to the server will drop to 2mb/s which results in buffering and an overall bad experience. Also it would allow me to stream higher quality content by splitting it up so I can get multiple threads at 2mb/s adding up to saturate my home connection if you know what I mean. There is feature requests in plex as well as a lot of talk of Reddit about it but it hasn't been addressed yet.
