 	Transcoding assumptions: 
	 	container format: mkv because it supports most video/audio codecs & subtitles
	 	video codec: keep in native formats to avoid quality loss and server CPU load associated with transcoding (e.g. h264,h265,vc1)
	 	audio codec: if a codec is not supported natively by Apple TV (e.g. lossless codecs like TrueHD or DTS-MA, then transcode to FLAC 
	 	(neither container nor lossless audio codec transcoding have material impact on performance)
