Deny transcoding at library level in addition to user

Hi,

So i currently have 3 libraries

- Movies (HD)

- TV Shows (whatever quality)

- 4k Movies (h.265/DV/whatever the highest quality there is to get)

 

For the regular movies and TV Shows i dont really care for transcoding, the server can handle it all just fine, but for the 4k library i don't want anything transcoded as that severely impacts performance on the server it's hosted on. My own home theater setup can run everything with direct play so that's all good, but there are some of my users who keep on forgetting that if they watch a movie on their tablet somewhere on a remote connection, they should just pick the regular library and not the 4k library. I keep reminding them, they keep forgetting it. So in the end i just want to disable transcoding on that library and if they try to play the file on an incompatible device (either format or bandwidth) to just error out.
