Can we be more specific about Plex transcoding option? #54

The Plex transcoding option states it forces direct play/stream. What exactly does this mean? Will it kill a stream that triggers transcoding or does it work some sort of magic to force the client to stream in original quality?

Added some more info to the readme:

This will force direct play/stream for all clients. Meaning that if a client requests a trancoded stream this will be ignored and a direct play/stream is used instead.

Hope this helps

Also renamed it to REPLEX_FORCE_MAXIMUM_QUALITY which reflects the intention of the setting better

I also use a reverse proxy and only route necessary paths. I'm assuming there are certain paths that must be routed in order for this feature to work?
