Sync with no transcode

I’ve been very frustrated with the syncing process. I want the option to skip converting entirely. If the file won’t play without converting them skip that file or at least display a notification on my phone which asks i I want to convert it first.

Please add this.

It’s frustrating that my videos play fine in the iOS app when streaming via direct play but as soon as I want to sync the video, it’s starts transcoding.

Has this been looked at? I have content which the app should easily just pay, but it keeps transcoding. Please do this. It’s a burden on all of my server and network at minimal benefit to the device, if at all.
