It's not in 0.18.1-5, but there are other ways to do it.  Simply create
additional recording profiles that use the same resolution, etc. as your
normal profiles but have auto-transcode enabled.  Then you can assign a
tv series to that profile.  When you find one you don't want transcoded,
select it from the "upcoming recordings" list and "add override".  You
can then specify an alternate recording profile (without transcoding)
that applies to that episode only.
