While sitting on my couch watching Plex, if I come across a show that won’t play due to incompatibility (looking at you EAC3/Sonos), I have to create an optimized version to play it as the automatic transcoding doesn’t seem to kick in.

I would like to see Plex client apps have an option to create an ‘Optimised version’. Plex already gives suggestions based on connection speed so this could form the option for what pre-set is used for the optimised version that gets created. When the creation of the optimis… ---
