haoleman 0 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Didn't use that Emby that often but just found out Today when it won't even play audio files without transcoding it now demands a premium subscription, no Music let alone movies without transcoding. I guess my question this is still promoted as a "free" player" but what free features are still left. None as far as I can tell, I can't play files from the server itself let alone another device without a prompt to pay. correct me if I'm wrong but what does this free Emby version still do ? Thanks in advance, Haoleman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where exactly is it promoted as "free" player? https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001173099-emby-premiere-feature-matrix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haoleman 0 Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Put the argument of self describing nomenclature aside. What does the Free version actually do now ? What files can I play ? I guess by the link Emby Free Isn't a server anymore. You can look at files, manage users, block kids, Browse media but can't play any of it for more than a minute It should be called Emby Free Lite Browser Only Not Emby Free server software. I will move on . Haoleman Edited March 26, 2022 by haoleman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What files can I play ? Haoleman None as the chart shows "Limited Playback (one-minute only)", almost all device specific apps will require unlock or premiere for full playback. For full free playback you would use a browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcclain 0 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I was using the mac client until a couple of months ago with the unlock. After upgrading due to a bug, I can't anymore. This is super frustrating. I paid the stupid unlock fee. I do NOT want my library connected to the internet. I don't want to pay a monthly fee. I just want to watch my own library at home. Now I have to migrate a huge library to something else. Thanks a lot, Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
