@jesusMc thanks for your reply :), yes, that will actually force transcode of audio AND video. My NAS is not fast enough to transcode a 1080p movie, so the used Android.xml-profile in PMS forces only to transcode the audio - the video stays “as-is” without transcode.
This worked perfect until 5.10.x, since 5.11.x, up to 6.2.x Plex for Android always forces a direct play, even if direct play got disabled in the settings - that is the only issue I have.
In the logfile you can find lines where Android for Plex sends to PMS, that directPlay is enabled:

directPlay=1, this should be directPlay=0 - at least 5.10.x sends an directPlay=0, when direct play got disabled in the settings.
Don’t you think, that there is something wrong?
