[Feature Request] Give priority to Optimized versions when streaming

I don’t think the client should have to opt in to using the optimized version. If client remote and there is an optimized version, prefer that, even if server needs to transcode.

The current logic kind of makes the optimized versions irrelevant since they aren’t used.
