Hi:

If there is already a feature request that meets mine, please pass me the link so i can vote in it.

Here is the feature i would like to be added to flex, you see when i select optimise inside a TV Show i make a custom version for a device at home, let say for example iPhone 4Mbps 720p and let say i name it iPhone. But this brings me two issues.

1.- I am able to choose “Optimized for Mobile”, “Optimized for TV” and so on, but i’m not able to choose my custom Optimised Version. I think it makes sense to name it, and to be able to choose the preset of that custom Optimised Version so that when i choose iPhone for example it will choose iOS, 4Mbps 720p and its storage folder, this would make it more easier to work with custom Optimised versions

2.- Each and every time i make a new transcoding for Optimised Versions Plex creates a new folder with a different name, even if the presets are the same ! If i convert the first 3 episodes of TVSHOW1 with the iPhone settings, it will create a folder with episode01, episode02 and episode03. And if i the next day i Optimize with the same iPhone settings the next 3 episodes it will create a folder with episode04, episode05 and episode06. This makes it harder to organise and know what episodes you have Optimised already and creates a mess. If we set the option of selecting a custom presets, the it can all be saved in the same folder and all 6 episodes will be within the same folder, and organising the data will be lot of easier for both flex and user.

Please let me know your comments

Cheers
