Hi guys,  
  
  
  
I was wondering if Plex can transcode via URLs, and if so is there any documentation or info on how to do this?  
  
  
  
For example something like /library/parts/350/file.mp4&format=mp4&vcodec=x264&acodec=aac  
  
  
  
Is this possible to do?

Have you found any information on this? I’m in the middle of developing something for WP8, and would like to add the capability to play stuff.
