Disable Plex Transcoder Totally

Sure brah I got you np. Just gotta use this completely undocumented and near impossible to find hidden server setting (classic plex amirite?) called “TranscoderCanOnlyRemuxVideo”

Just drop TranscoderCanOnlyRemuxVideo="1" in Preferences.xml and you’re good to go.

If you need a little guidance on how to get to your Preferences.xml file just follow this guide https://support.plex.tv/articles/201105343-advanced-hidden-server-settings/ (I know right? Plex and documentation? It blew my mind too ^_^)

EDIT: Just realized this thread was 3 years old. Oh well =(
