Right now converting media has 2 options, replace original file or move new file next to original. Both of those options assume emby has RW acccess to your media folder. I don't have RW access and I do not want to grant that either. So, I suggest custom path possibility.

Hi, you can do this with the folder sync plugin, but yes, at some point we plan to move this feature to the convert feature.

OK, it's working.

Now, when I choose that newly created vesion, I should be able to download that version, instead emby still gives me original file..

With Folder Sync I created 2 version of one media file. When I want to watch it from webui I choose which version I want and hit play.

My idea is after choosing a vesion, you should also able to download that version to PC as well, not the original file

@raudraido can you please provide the entire screenshot, rather than just a snippet? Thanks.

@raudraido this is only a single version video. When you click download, you're going to get the 4k hevc version every time. If this were a multi-version video then you'd have a version drop down box on this screen right above the media info.

Does that answer your question?
