While it’s great having apps for different device types, sometimes all you have (access to) is a browser. Trying to get th Plex server to NOT transcode and leave it to the client to figure it out is often flat out impossible. At a guess, most clients have more CPU horsepower than the Plex servers, so could we please have a feature that says just send the data stream and then the browser envronment can do what it can? It doesn’t have to be a general setting in the server, but it should be possible from any web client. If there is such a feature already, then I have never managed to get it set correctly. It is frustrating when playback never starts and there is a little message (usually hidden offscreen) complaining about CPU or disk space, or whatever.
