> Is the ability to transcode to HEVC/x265 something that’s on the roadmap? Most, possibly all, of the people I share my library with use playback devices which support HEVC playback. I’ve got a very beefy Xeon processor with more cores than I have fingers in my server that is perfectly capable of transcoding a couple streams to HEVC. It would be nice if there was an advanced option, or maybe a feature for PlexPass subscribers, to enable transcoding to HEVC for devices that support it to increase…
