'No encoding' option under transcode?

[SuperDre]

I don't know if it's only on some files, but I do know when I have a mkv it seems a lot of times there is no 'No encoding' option available under transcoding. Is there a setting which can just always have the 'no encoding' option available under the transcode folder? I'm using a PS3 and sometimes I use showtime, and showtime is able to play some mkv's without encoding, but if the option is not available I cannot use it.
Sometimes it seems showtime is a bit sharper than streaming through mencoder..

The PS3 doesn't support mkv files, but choosing the tsMuxeR option does the same thing (no encoding) in a way that the PS3 can recognise.

The PS3 itself through the Sony mediaplayer it doesn't, but through ShowTime it does (up to a certain point/resolution)..

Ah ok, well in any case it doesn't matter because tsMuxeR is lossless

Is it possible we can get this option always? It allows android devices to handle the file directly via MX Player, etc... That way you don't have to turn off the automatic detection.

You can edit your android.conf file to do that. I just had a brief look at it and it seems that it already streams the following formats without transcoding:
mkv,hdmov,hdm,flac,fla,dts,ogg,asf,asx,m2v

So you should be able to add your formats to the list and get the no encoding option

Maybe it's time to add a new settings screen where you can create your own profile, which also has a 'select from list' of extentions which have to be transcoded and which just stream.

Do you wnat a GUI option for this? I would say it's faily simple to create a new conf file by just copying an old one and then modify it.

Yes, it's easy, but not userfriendly, and in the end it's userfriendlyness that you want to achieve (after ofcourse first having as much options as possible working through manually editable config files..
