My Transcoder default buffer is set to 600 seconds / 10 minutes, but Plex only ever buffers 60 seconds beyond my current place in videos. This is even if I wait for a long time with the video paused so that the buffer can catch up. I’m usually just using the web player @ app.plex.tv , rather than PM…

Transcoder stops at 60 seconds of buffer even with larger buffer defined

No, it’s not possible. See [Very Popular] myPlex: buffer content Youtube-style for more discussions on this topic.
