Choosing stream type on the server side

Can we please get an advanced setting on the server, that allows us to limit streaming to just:

  1. Direct Play
  2. Direct Play, Direct Stream
  3. Direct Play, Direct Stream, Transcode

Sure… it has the potential to “break” things if you don’t know what you are doing, but so does every other setting under “advanced”. I assume it should be very straightforward to implement as well. The functionality is likely already built-in to some extent anyway for ARM devices that can’t transcode.

If there is a better place to submit feature requests, I’d appreciate it if you could point me to the right direction :slight_smile:

moved to feature request section

Early 2021 clean-up: implemented (option to disable transcoding)
