See my fix here:
Hallelujah! Oh man, I can’t believe that worked! After years of struggling, I can finally force files to sync without needless transcoding! The party line from Plex has always been, “Plex knows best” and “Plex is made to transcode everything and if you’re not willing to do that you’re an idiot and shouldn’t be using Plex”. Not a direct quote but close enough.
Basically, you can add a custom device profile that prevents Plex from ever transcoding, including both syncing and streaming. It’s a shim but so far seems to work for me.
