Does it include the same photo backup feature as the Android app?

So previous purchase of app for iOS no longer valid and we have to purchase it again? Or are previous app owners grandfathered in? Seems a shame if we're not.

The old iOS app(s) were supported by community members. This new one is a completely new app developed by emby.

Not at this time that is something the team is working on supporting.

Hi, i'm sad to say that it doesn't work for me.

I have a one year subscription active without emby connect and there are a few local accounts.

So the problem is, every time i want to start a movie it says that i have to buy it.

Any idea how to fix it?

Hey guys, Love the app. Any ideas when mobile sync will be available? This is probably one of the strongest features I'm looking for and its a shame to see it missing from iOS support at the moment. Cheers, D

I need to tell iPhone users how to set up this app. Once installed, and with  an Emby Connect account, how do people put in my server?
