Hi all,

it would be great to have different transcoder settings in PMS for at least two types:

- own account
- friends

For example:

- higher bitrate limits for transcodes over the internet and higher transcoder quality for own account than for “friends”
- hw transcode if the cpu is at full load or hw transcode for friends

-\> best quality for yourself but not for everybody due to HW ressources.

Is such a feature already in development?
