Above, if I read it correctly, would allow you to do the following:
When a user selects a media, that needs to be transcoded, then at the same time as streaming it, it could also be saved to disk, for future use, if the PMS admin and/or the user selected to do so!
Might be wrong here though, since I'm not that deep into ffmpeg and how Plex utilize it
But maybe worth a quick look, for a fast solution to something that has been requested a lot up here.
IIRC, PMS already saves transcodes, but only temporarily. It would be nice if the transcodes were cached a bit longer ('till PMS restart, or cache is getting full) and reused by other clients requesting the same or similar (compatible) transcode.

AFAIK, that's not always the case....
If i want's to watch a movie online on my Android, it's a transcoded stream....
If I want's to download it to my Android, then yes....it's transcoded into a file, and then made avail for my phone
Agreed, and it's not the whole movie that exists, just a buffer of files

If you start the media from the beginning, it will eventually exist in its entireity, how fast it comes into existence depends on your transcode throttle buffer settings.
