[Suggestion] Add a brandwith limiter feature

Open endless22 opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

When used with long duration tracks the plugin just keep saturate my bandwidth which prevents me from using other applications. I'm actually using netlimiter but sometimes the application fail to limit the brandwith used by the plugin. That's why I think this feature would be a nice addition to the plugin.

Any news on this? I'd like to see an optional bandwidth limit, too, since I often listen to longer mixes (1-2 hours). Other than that I really like this plugin.

I took a look at the code and tried to implement a simple bandwidth limit today but I can't seem to find the right part of the source code where the streaming is performed (either that or there's a problem in my limit code). Also I'm not sure how to debug AIMP plugins :/

This plugin is not responsible for streaming itself and doesn't have any control on the streaming or download process. All this plugin does is to provide AIMP with track URL and AIMP does the rest. You'd have to do this in AIMP itself.

Ah I see, sadly I couldn't find any options in AIMP to limit the bandwidth. Thanks for the info, though.
