I hate how they'll spend 4 years squashing all the bugs.........and then they cancel the software, and release a new buggy version.

i will never forgive the emby team for creating the single most idiotic (although rather funny) transcoding system.

It has a resolution selection, along with a bitrate selection, so you would think it forces transcoding.

It turns out the resolution is actually just a suggestion, and the bitrate is what it targets, if it doesn't meet the bitrate, it will transcode, and if you get lucky, it might transcode to the specified resolution.
