So -- I hate to be the kid who reminds the teacher that she forgot to assign homework, but ... I have been trialing Emby (as referenced in my earlier posts) in a comparison vs Plex. The main TV uses a FireTV Stick. We do only in-home streaming with no 'users' (only my wife and I using a client on living room TV and a Roku client on the bedroom TV). It was my understanding after looking at the feature matrix that when the FireTV client trial had expired, I would have to either pay for Premier or pay for unlocking the app (or go back to Plex). My trial is definitely expired on the FireTV client -- but I can't see any change in functionality. The app knows it's expired -- but I can play programs on it just fine. The feature-matrix led me to believe that there would be 'limited playback' (whatever that means). Is the feature-matrix correct? Or because I'm only serving up local files during the test, is that covered in basic functionality? I'm prepared to receive the ire of other users if this has been that way a while and everybody else had the good sense not to point it out. :-)

Me pide que compre para poder ver en algunos dispositivos mientras que en otros no me dice nada a que se debe? en algunos dispositivos me dice que solo puedo ver mediante prueba un minuto. todo esto lo hago con un servidor local, sin usar emby premiere

Is it possible to get some clarification on the openess of the code and continuation? First of all: I was not able to find some kind of trial for the premium version. I suppose it is possible to set up some kind of 2/3 day trial so one can test the DVR features etc over a weekend. I prefer that then to get one of the hacked versions.... (and I never paid for a trial). I read quite some confusion on the openness of the code. Is it possible that Emby specifies which parts are open (and to which version) and which are closed? (in accordance with GITHUB's policies etc). Personally I would love to have something open even if I pay for it initially to get into the community. Maybe you can make it 'community open source'. I saw concerns about the restrains of the lifetime license; if it was community sourced that issue would disappear. Emby could also promise that once a new version comes available for where an upgrade of the license is required that the existing code will be available for the lifetime users. (this would of course limit the active involvement of the community during the normal lifetime). In both situations you could specify that all code that was proposed by users can be used in the next version without the version being open (of course the code itself would be usable in the initial product where the code would be available for existing users). I think that would benefit both Emby as the user community. One of Emby's advantages is that it is/was at least partly open and I think that there is quite a group of people that prefer to pay for/support that instead of a totally closed source variant. The restriction of the number of devices can also be an issue for personal use. If you have a family of 5 and when each has a phone, tablet and pc you are already at the max and cannot have the general TV etc connected. Maybe an idea to make it unlimited for personal usage or at least extend the number of devices for personal usage?

Hi Scott, Updated the new version earlier and logged in ( v8.0.67.1 ) but when i went to use the remote/app for a second time the trial mode paywall popped up and wont let me use the remote only option is to press ok and exit (see pic).

Is there any way to get a trial supporter key to see if I can get game browser working or if I like it? Also, If I use MBClassic with WMC on Xbox 360, can I use that as a controller for the emulators? Or what is typically used? Thanks,
