Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like an option to disable preloading videos in the file viewer.
Currently if I'm trying to view a file I see requests for the video before and after. All being big files, I might not even be interested in viewing those. If on a slow connection, wasting bandwidth on those isn't a good idea! Especially when it makes the video I'm actually trying to see load waaay slower.
Describe the solution you'd like
Either a config option or an option in the web interface to disable preloading.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Nginx rules to limit the number of connections but that seems to not work as I expect.
