With it be possible to add some features/settings to the builtin plex optimizer?  
I would really like the possibility to set up a profile that for example only pre-transcodes audio, instead of the whole file. That would for example make 4K videos with HDR and DTS direct play on a Samsung TV, without the need for trancode on the fly. There is a bug in Samsung TV that forced video transcodes when audio has to be transcoded, but I think this setting in the optimizer could be useeful for not only Samsung users.

Today I have to manually remux or change audio files with FFMpeg, but because Plex could do it for me that would be a much nice solution.
