I was under the impression that emby will always transcode h.265, so didn't want to unnecessarily burden the emby server with every play. Don't like those temporary transcode files hitting the drive either. As it is now, the above first episode I made plays direct to our roku/tv's, no need to transcode. I should at least test a h.265 version, see if it plays okay. I'm not worried about longer encode time, and an even smaller file is always good.
