Hey guys!
Just watched a movie on my ShieldTV that is encoded with HEVC and FLAC 7.1 audio in a .mkv file. I expect the movie to be remuxed, and audio transcoded to pcm or ac3 or something similar, but for some reason HEVC was also being transcoded.
I know HLS streams don't (or didn't?) support HEVC, but in a recent Android app update it mentioned HEVC could now be remuxed with PMS 1.0.0.0 and above, which I have.

Why was it transcoded? Bug? Server log included.
