So I’ve seen information for people who create a custom playback/client profile,  
I’m curious if there is a way to create a custom optimizie profiles. The predefined “Optimize for tv” bitrates/resolutions are very limiting. I didn’t see information in the past, but I was hoping with them making improvements to sync/transcoding/optimize that this might be an option.

Not sure where to drop this, so I put it here.

Thanks for any advice!

I found a feature request for this:

> I’m creating optimized versions for some of my videos. In the optimization settings, I select “Custom” and a quality, e.g. “2 Mbps 720p”. Plex lets me specify a name for that custom quality. However, I don’t get the meaning of this. The custom name cannot be reused, which makes it pretty useless.
