Feature Request: Set bitrate based on Client network connection type
Currently, the streaming bitrate is set based on whether the request to the server is coming from within the defined LAN range of IP addresses.
It would be preferable for a client on a fast, un-metered internet connection, such as a friend or hotel wifi, outside the LAN IP range to not be subject to the client bandwidth restrictions. Currently, this requires the user to manually change the internet setting:
Suggested resolution:
Android has an API that allows the client to determine if it is on a metered internet connection, such as LTE, where restricting the bitrate is desirable to unintentionally consuming metered bandwidth.
