Jellyfin Transcode Killer Plugin

Part of the Jellyfin Project

Plugin prevents Jellyfin from transcoding videos when the source resolution exceeds set limits. By configuring max width/height, you can:

• Block transcoding entirely (e.g., 1x1 limit).
• Block heavy transcodes like 4K → 1080p.

Since Jellyfin can’t fully disable transcoding by default, the plugin is useful for low-power servers or CPU-only setups, ensuring users don’t overload the system with demanding transcodes.
