Feature request: add detection that media will be transcoded for selected tracks

Hi, I’m using plex for WebOs, and recently purchased Plex Pass, so I think that I can request small feature :slight_smile:

I have very old notebook as server and run plex server there. Everything is fine except sometimes plex start transcoding my media if I select some subtitles which are not supported by my TV. Or it can be audio track. So when transcoding (or even remuxing) started - everything stuck. because as I said I have very old hardware.

Most of time there are many different audio and subtitles track within media, so I can select those which are not trigger auto transcoding and watch movie. Now I’m using unofficial client Xplay on WebOS which provide me information whether or not media will be transcoded if I select specific tracks.

I’d like to see this feature on official client. Please implement it. Auto transcoding is not annoying only - sometimes it’s provide really worse experience, because I can’t view anything at all.

Thank you!

Is anybody out there? Will Plex team make some respond for this?
