Currently, the client alone decides if and how to transcode. Transcoding is expensive (CPU power), so not every user should use it, but some have to due to bandwith restrictions. I would like to request something like transcoding profile per user, i.e.:

User doe: no restrictions (can configure it like today, in the client)
User joe: no transcoding allowed (is a client in the LAN with a full-blown-HTPC-XBMC, does not need to transcode)
User moe: always transcodes to 288res/h264/aac (is an android phone, just 1Mbit bandwith)
User hoe: always transcodes, can select resolution,h264,audio pass-throug (is an XBMC Client over DSL)

This would also remove the need of a client that's transcoding-aware (just the newer android and iphone clients are, XBMC isn't at all).
