This is predominantly a maintenance release but there are some new goodies to enjoy. Without further ado, here are the highlights.

 

Control Your Cloud Sync Upload Speed

 

You can now configure this in the sync settings area.

Manage Your Sync Conversion Speed

 

Now you can control both the speed and the number of CPU cores that are utilized by sync conversion tasks.

New Sync Management Settings

 

Suppose you'd like to give your users access to Sync, but you don't want them hammering your CPU. Now you can limit their access to sync transcoding so that they're only able to sync original files.

New User Management Settings

 

You now have the ability to limit a user's access to transcoding, another tool at your disposal to conserve your CPU.

Keep in mind that taking away transcoding could make it impossible to play some content on certain devices. When this happens, your users will receive a friendly error message:

We're working hard to get these graceful error messages into every Emby app. Please be patient while we do this.

 

 

New Streaming Management Settings

 

Suppose you have limited upload speed and want to enforce a cap for all remote clients. Now you can easily do this from the Streaming settings page.

Keep in mind that reducing the allowed bitrate will make transcoding more likely to occur. But as with everything else, it's all your choice.

 

An All-New Live TV Guide

 

The guide now fills the screen and is a joy to scroll or flick through. It's fast, it's it's pretty and it's now free of the double scrollbars it had before.

And when you're mobile, it's a whole new experience that's easier and friendlier than ever.

Direct Play Live TV from Supported Clients

 

If you you're on the Emby Theater beta channel, you'll now enjoy Live TV without any transcoding, subject to support from your installed Live TV provider.

 

Beautiful Dynamic Thumbnails for Collections & Playlists

 

We think you're going to really enjoy these. Make sure to thank t.andre in the community.
