Some extra info about 4K/X265

4k, transcoding, and you - aka the rules of 4k - a FAQ{:target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"} - Plex.tv

  1. Dont bother transcoding 4k
  2. If you cannot direct play 4k, then perhaps you should not even be collecting 4k.
  3. If you dont have the storage space for a copy of both 4k and 1080/720, then perhaps you should not even be collecting 4k.
  4. To avoid transcoding for remote and non-4k clients, keep your 4k content in separate plex libraries.
  5. This may of course mean that you keep a 4k copy and a 1080/720 copy, but if you are collecting 4k content then you should not be worried about storage space, should you?
