A request for the same feature exists already, and it has more votes.

> Would be great if you could disable transcoding on certain libraries! For instance my server can’t handle x265, so would love to be able to disable transcoding for a specific library containing x265 so only direct play is allowed. Especially with 2160p being used a lot, it could be relevant for a lot

Therefore this one is closed, to prevent spreading the votes across several threads, even though they vote for the same (or at least very similar thing).

Votes are given back to the users who voted on this request. Please think of re-voting in the other thread if you still want it.
