Emby WMC UI Beta Available Now

Today, we're glad to announce public availability of the new Emby WMC UI Beta.

Sunset on MB2 Supporter Keys is June 1st 2014

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

In addition, direct playback of FLAC has been extended to more Chromecast devices and not just Chromecast Audio. How to Get The Up

Windows Phone App Updated, Massive Streaming Improvements

Today we pushed a release for our Windows Phone app (8.0.66.0) which sees a massive improvement in streaming and what the app is requiring the server to transcode.   So what does this mean? Basically, if you have a video in your collection that your Windows Phone device would be able to play natively (as if you dragged the video onto your phone from your PC), then the server will know that it doesn't need to transcode the video, it can do a direct stream to your phone. This decreases the load
