Bandwidth limit?

[pmwoodward3]

Really love this project, so simple and yet pretty powerful.

Quick question though, what would the outbound traffic show up as for the server owner? Would it look like SSH traffic? Would it just look like outbound plex server traffic?

Also what does the performance look like in your experience?

Thanks!

What would the outbound traffic show up as for the server owner?
Aside from seeing a spike in outbound http traffic from their server, they wouldn't actually know where it was going or why. Plex doesn't detect the current implementation as a sync or a stream (it is calling the same thing as the "download" button that the server owner has access to).

Performance? The project is only a week old so I haven't really got to optimising that yet. I know it is fast enough to watch a small file hosted on a server in the same country.

I chose Node.JS as the language because it was malleable enough for a quick implementation. That will have a performance cost because IO is not async - something I may fix in future if I have time.
