Would it be possible to create a parameter to disable photo transcoding ? I have PMS installed in a slow NAS, disabling photo transcoding (such as I have with PlexConnect) is a must for me.

Several other NAS users are complaining about PMS’s slow speed to handle photos, therefore this change could also be usefull to them.

Agree 100% moody\_blue. Slow photo loading has been an issue for a very, very long time. Please help us out with this, Plex staff!

Plex staff don’t have anything to do with OpenPHT, it’s done by the Rasplex team, all unpaid!
