Presenting the new Emby SDK

Background Plugins, extensions and integrations make an important part of the Emby ecosystem. Plugin development is open to everybody and many great plugins have been created by Emby community members. To show our appreciation for the great work and achievements of community developers, we took steps in order to improve in an area where we haven't done that well in the recent past: Developer Support. When talking about support, there are several different facets to evaluate and consider.

New skin available to use Media Browser with XBMB3C

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.

Emby Systems Upgrade - Possible Downtime

Maintenance Window: 11pm Eastern Time on Nov 16 - 2am Eastern Time on Nov 17 It is time for another back-end system upgrade to keep up with software that we use.  All Emby back end systems may be unavailable during the window above.  We hope for the actual downtime to be less than one hour but want to provide warning for a larger time frame just in case.  This may affect Emby Connect and initial Premiere validations.  Most operations will be unaffected. Thanks.

Install the Windows Store mpeg2 extension

For those using Emby for Windows Store, we recommend installing the Microsoft mpeg2 extension:   https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9n95q1zzpmh4   This will allow the app to decode mpeg2 in-app without having to rely on server transcoding. Once this is installed, the Emby Windows Store app will automatically take advantage of it.   Learn more about Emby for Windows Store.
