The next release of Emby Server for Windows will install the .NET framework 4.62 if you don't already have it on your system. This may require manual intervention on your part to accept and complete the installation.
If you prefer, you can perform this installation ahead of time by installing it from the Microsoft website, or Windows Update:

Enjoy.
Installation
Users in the USA with a Samsung Smart TV can install now from the Samsung App Store.
A Modern App for Modern Times
The interface for this app has been built with HTML, but this is nothing like the web apps you're accustomed to. This has been built purely with modern features that bring a level of performance that wasn't even possible a year ago at this time. For the nerds out there, that means WebAnimations, WebComponents, Service Workers, Polymer, and on and on.
A new release of Emby Server is currently rolling out. Here are the highlights.
Stats for Nerds Now available in the web app video player. Look for it soon in other Emby apps.

There is a new ListenBrainz plugin available for Emby Server. Music fans will want to check this out in the Emby plugin catalog.
The ListenBrainz project is similar to the original AudioScrobbler®. Unlike the original project, ListenBrainz is open source and will publish its data as open data.
A team of former Last.fm and current MusicBrainz hackers created the first version of ListenBrainz in the space of a weekend. Since the original project was created, technology has advanced at an i

Version 3.0.96.0 of MBC brings chapter viewing and direct playback to themes that are modified to support it.
Currently default, Chocolate and Subdued support chapters with more themes coming. Legacy themes may never support this functionality so this may be a good time to investigate a new theme.
Not that I ever released a version 1 that wasn't beta, but Here it is.

MediaBrowser 3 has a new theme launching very soon – Aztec. But this is no ordinary theme.
For the first time ever, you don’t just see the front covers of all the movies on your HTPC – you see the back covers too, beautifully animated. All the detail about every movie, just like you see on a DVD or Blu Ray case.
The folks at FanArt.tv may soon be adding full cover scans – front, back and spine – to the already extensive selection of images and artwork. Do you want to see back cov
MB Classic Version 3.0.117.0 has been released as Beta. The two major features included in this release are:
The Chocolate Theme has become the new default face of MB Classic. It will be installed and selected automatically for any new installations. Current installations will not be modified (although Chocolate will still be installed). The old default theme has been re-named to "Classic" and can still be selected via the config page.
MBC now supports filtering any view by both Un-wa
Beginning June 1st, we will be removing support for previous MB 2 Supporter keys in the MB 3 Server and removing this field from the product.
As long as you get your MB 2 key in before this date, you will get credit for any MB 2 registrations. After that time, it won't be possible to enter the old key and the system will stop checking against the old database.
We aren't making this move to try and take anything away but the old MB 2 database is being shut down and we want to remove this

We are going to be upgrading our web infrastructure over the weekend. This is going to mean an interruption in all of our web-based services including this forum for, hopefully, a very brief period.
The website, forum, plug-in catalog and registration information will be temporarily unavailable starting Sunday, May 11 9:00pm EDT
We hope this interruption will be minimal and the new infrastructure should improve our ability to handle both the forum and new version deliveries of all our co
Did you hear of XBMB3C ?
It's a fantastic add-on for XBMC to connect to your Media Browser server and browse your libraries. That way you can take advantage of the great things XBMC has to offer like PVR-support, large amount of plugins and a large support of devices/platforms without giving up the fantastic features of Media Browser.
If you just install the XBMB3C add-on, you have to open up the add-on to browse your Media Browser libraries. Not that user friendly as you might want to just

I had a whole essay written for this blog post, going into various different themes, plots, and narratives, but then I figured, you guys don't want to read that, you just want to know that the Windows and Windows Phone apps are now over 50% off.
Both apps are now $1.49 (or their equivalent in other currencies)
