Now Supports HDMI-CEC Control With Your TV Remote
The latest version now supports the HDMI-CEC protocol. If your HTPC has the appropriate HDMI-CEC hardware, you can now control Emby Theater with your TV remote (Windows version only)!
By supported hardware, we're referring to CEC adapters which you can get over at https://www.pulse-eight.com
Important: This is an optional feature. You'll be prompted to install CEC drivers. You are free to decline this by cancelling, and you won't be bothered about it again.
Play Your Games
External players have been updated to support launching games. Now you're playing with power!
Redesigned Back Menu
We think you'll find the new look much more pleasing and easier to use.
New Context Menus
Access context menus for selected items, either by right-clicking, or by using the menu button on your remote control.
New Slide Up Menu
The new slide-up menu in desktop mode offers quick access to many of your favorite functions. Just hover the mouse over a poster.
New Multi-Select Menu
You're probably familiar with this from the standard web interface. When running under the mobile or desktop display modes, you can now access multi-select menus via left click-hold, or tap and hold. Multi-Select allows you to perform bulk operations on selected items such as marking watched, refreshing, and more.
3-Dot Context Menus for Lists
When running under the mobile or desktop display modes, lists will now have the familiar 3-dot context menus, allowing a wide range of management options that are relevant to the selected item.
Easily Re-order Playlists with Drag Handles
When running under the mobile or desktop display modes, you'll now see drag handles next to playlist items, allowing for quick and easy re-ordering.
New Sleep Protection
Now if you leave video playback running unattended for hours on end, you'll eventually see an "Are you still watching?" dialog. This is perfect for binge watching to help prevent entire series from accidentally being marked watched in the event you fall asleep while watching.
Faster Performance on Xbox One
The app navigates and animates faster than ever on Xbox One. If you haven't yet tried it on Xbox One, be sure to check it out at http://tv.emby.media
Fork the Default Skin
Can you do HTML and JavaScript? Then why not fork the default skin?

Let us know what changes and improvements you're able to come up with. You can even release your forked version to the Emby community!
