Hello,  
i would like that only the video is transcoded and the soundtrack e.g. DTS 5.1 is not transcoded.

How do I have to adjust the url that the soundtrack is not transcoded?

```auto
https://100-90-100-51.98e9d0d0277a44dcb8eddbfd6927a180.plex.direct:32400/video/:/transcode/universal/start.m3u8?X-Plex-Platform=Chrome&copyts=1&maxVideoBitrate=2000&mediaIndex=0&offset=0&path=%2Flibrary%2Fmetadata%2F139281&videoResolution=1280x720&X-Plex-Token=Xxxxxxxxx

```

With this URL the stream is transcoded but also the audio track to 2.0.

Is for the new Plex DreamOS plugin.

I am grateful for any help

**Mod-Edit:** removed the Plex server token from the posted URL. Do not post that token publicly as it’ll enable others to gain access to your server!!
