I've been thinking on pre-processing my library to be able to serve it on a low level device, have you thought about that option?
In my case since I know what content I'll be watching the most in what devices and have the space to duplicate it (since I don't want to lose the original files)
I've honestly been considered going the other way. I have a bunch of h.264 files that I'd like to convert to h.265. I recently heard about Tdarr, and am considering that for a future weekend project to reclaim storage space.
I think directing my friends that can to move to players that don't suck would help with the transcoding bottleneck. But some of the other responses make me feel like I'm overly concerned about it.
I just did my entire movie and TV library. Was set and forget once I got it configured properly. Had each one of my proxmox hosts running a Tdarr lxc and it took a few months to process it all. Only encoded during what Plex says is the least played hours so I didn't try to copy a movie onto an already playing movie.
