Plex Web transcoding Live TV unneccesarily

Server Version#: 1.13.8.5395
Player Version#: Plex Web Version 3.71.2

When playing the Live TV stream in PMP the Live TV stream is simply remuxed. However via Plex Web the video stream is actively transcoded from H264 to H264 and in the logs I see “avoiding video remux due to live stream”. Can we be allowed video remuxes for Plex Web?
