Transcoding video, photo preview

[mxm199]

Hello.
Such a question, is it possible to disable the transcoding of mp4 video files so that the video is played directly from the connected /data folder? I have the entire library stored on my home server, and for backup storage I copy it to an external hard drive. If the video files are transcoded by the server, the cache folder increases greatly in size and there is almost duplication of content. There is also a question about photo files, the preview is limited to the size of 1920 and it is in no way possible to use the original file for the final viewing?
There seems to have been information in the documentation that the source folder is used only for preparing gallery files and after full content processing is not used, only for processing new files. If so, then I probably answered my own question)))

Currently this feature is not yet supported.

Also original files in general are not suppoted yet.

The preview sizes are customizable via the config.

There seems to have been information in the documentation that the source folder is used only for preparing gallery files and after full content processing is not used, only for processing new files.

Correct. The storage folder contains all required data for the gallery. The original folder is not required. This was an design decition for the gallery to gave the possibility to browse/preview all files in little space
