> Transcoding Settings should have option to “disable” 4K files transcoding. One movie folder contains: 4K version 1080p Plex should take 1080p version for transcoding instead of 4K. 4K transcoding needs super power CPU. Without this option 4K movies must be in the seperate library or must adding 720p version.

Therefore this one is closed.
