Or you could just bring up the contextual menu for the file and if you have plexbmc installed you should have an option to "play transcoded" no need to change settings.

Hey, thanks for the tip. I just tested it out and was able to find that menu option. FYI, that menu only comes up when you're selecting the movie from a normal list. If you're selecting it from the "On Deck" area (e.g., recently watched movies) it doesn't show up. But now that I know that it's available (if you get to the movie from the right place), it's a definite time-saver for sure!
