Disabling 4K HEVC transcoding

I'm running Emby on a Synology DS416play, which can transcode H.264 4K, but not HEVC 4K. I believe many systems are similar in these capabilities. Currently, if a user tries to transcode a 4K HEVC video, my entire system will hang. It would be brilliant if it was possible to disable 4K HEVC transcoding, and only allow direct streams for this format.

Hi, there's currently no way to do this without disabling all video transcoding for a particular user, but it's probably a good idea to add.

I'm back with the exact same question, still not possible to only disable h.265 transcoding ? :)

Have your 4k movies in a separate library and deny them access to it.  It's literally that easy.

I'd say OP doesn't want to deny access to 4K content, just not transcoded HEVC but allow direct play only.

There's currently no way to do that, but it's come to before so it's always possible for the future. Thanks.

@Luke would really appreciate this as a feature. Looking forward to it. I understand if it's not highest priority, but if you could look into it when there's time it would be very nice

I don't want to disable access to 4k (h.265) movies, I just want to prevent their transcoding.

Because I have a bug at the moment, if ever someone outside the network launches a 4k movie which unfortunately tries to transcode, my Rclone goes crazy and the Server network card is saturated. The logs are quite strange on this subject, I think I'll open a topic to see this ...

The plugin I wrote should do exactly that lol, it will stop any 4k stream that is transcoding or however you setup the options.

Hi

I would love if this was added to Emby as a feature.

Especially since the puling doesn't work with the latest Emby version.

Is there an update on this. I still can’t stop transcoding it down to 264.
