There's 2 kind of transcoding needs :
- The one when you use play to inside Kodi, that will at terms needs xml for specific devices that will not support X or Y codec. With Kodi automatically selecting the correct profile based on the target device.
- The one where something request the streaming and want some specific things, like on a phone, control over the final bandwidth required to play the media. This could be profile based too. But in the end for most users, the need will be a simple profile list and a max bandwidth list. There can't really be automated profiles as there's multiple needs and bandwidth is not related to device but to location of the device.
