yes you can turn off transcoding.

with the plex pass you can have your friends connect to you.
without it, you cant.  you can't have any remote connections.

like before i had plex at home and plex on the server and i could watch it
off both.  and so could my friends.

justtry emby. it has some nice plugins too.
something screwed up when i first installed it and it wasn't importing from
some directories but now it works.
