Hi! I see that is possible to download the original file on Plex/Web. It would be nice if we could download a transcoded version on the fly instead of streaming. For example, I rather wait and have a good quality than to watch a lower quality, but if I’m away waiting for the 1080p version might be too much. I would be nice to be able to choose some lower version for download. Thanks! ---
