Pre-transcode media to hls for library use

Just wondering if / can / would emby support it if I were to pre-transcode some library items to hls rather than using the “conversion” feature. 

The “conversion” feature is a nice first stab, however having no control over the profiles is a barrier to entry for me.  Storing the converted file in the same folder as the media file wrecks my metadata management / naming i do outside of emby.

Hi, the problem with this idea is that the hls output is dependent on criteria specific to the playback session, e.g. quality setting, selected audio/subtitle tracks, etc. That makes it difficult to create one that would be suitable for all situations.
