One of the things I would like to see in a future version is the ability to set the time to live of transcoded files. It would ideally be settable based on some criteria. For instance if device A needed to transcode a file the file would be saved indefinitely (like now). Where if device B transcoded the file would be deleted after viewing (or some set time).
Other ways to do it would be to allow certain source files (like vob) to be persistent while other types .m4v to have a configurable time to live.
It would also work if there were a profile parameter we could set like <transcodedlife=0> ... <transcodedlife=30> where 0 = never expire and 30 would be 30 days.
I am aware that the downside is having to transcode again (maybe). But my library is already pushing 3TB. CPU time is cheap where disks get expensive.
