Is the ability to transcode _to_ HEVC/x265 something that’s on the roadmap? Most, possibly all, of the people I share my library with use playback devices which support HEVC playback. I’ve got a very beefy Xeon processor with more cores than I have fingers in my server that is perfectly capable of transcoding a couple streams to HEVC. It would be nice if there was an advanced option, or maybe a feature for PlexPass subscribers, to enable transcoding to HEVC for devices that support it to increase the quality of their streams, especially in situations where download speeds can be limited like streaming over cellular or slow home broadband. I’ve got a friend that lives in the boonies stuck on 3Mbps DSL, but he has an Apple TV 4K so his 2Mbps streams could be much better looking if he could stream them via HEVC. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/transcode-to-hevc-x265/360421)._
