Can you please add a feature to automatically transcode new X265 files added to the library? The apple TV client won’t play them and my server isn’t fast enough to transcode on the fly so I find I am having to use another media player instead of plex. ---

Is there some way to tell handbrake to just transcode x265 files? Everything plays fine except for these. ---

I was hoping for a more automatic way of doing this rather than finding each file manually. The upcoming version of Apple tvOS is supposed to support x265 so I guess I will use the Mr. MC app which does software decoding until the new tvos comes out then give plex another try at that point in time. ---
