Can't really imagine it being anyone's thing (can think of nothing worse than using a big noisy, power hungry pc to stream media), but presumably they have telemetry that tells them how many people use it

Just take a look at the support channels (both beta as well as release) for the Windows server releases. These are a lot busier than any of the other channels...

‘Turbo Pascal’ in it’s time was AWSOME!

My entire Collegiate project set was done with that.  It was an awesome system for its time. 

Complete topic derail but...

"You are standing in a clearing near a wood.  There is a white house on your left."

Another system that was really pretty amazing for its time.

Isn't that Zork?

I expect the Windows Server release to be, but not a Windows Client .

It is and I guess I am old school too because I found that it was still fun https://classicreload.com/zork-i.html# playing it yesterday.

What I cannot explain though, is the delay of the beta for the new Windows/Xbox apps. These are ready to go into beta for several months already.

Seems like somebody heard you  

As always, thanks for the insight, you're the only one of the officials doing so and many of us appreciate those insights.

It's been a while seen I've seen anything on TVNext... are there any updates?

Well, I was told it was ready for beta in a couple months EXACTLY 4 years ago and why I went ahead and bought a emby premiere lifetime subscription. Even though the as-is TV app sort of works it does not work to my liking to get rid of my cable box but Premiere was on sale so I bought it eagerly awaiting TVNext.    Still noting 4 years later and I still have my cable box.  Never hold your breath around here.

The way the current beta is going it’s not looking good it will be released soon very few releases very few posts. If they put tvnext that forum will be buzzing again. Its very disappointing the tv portion needs a lot if improvements tv guide is one of them after 7 years still not improved

Hi.  The same as we said before.  It will be after 4.9 which has not yet released.

4.9 apparently being the Smartlists edition of which we've seen precisely nothing how many months after the last stable release ?

[pwhodges 1833]

The determination to make 4.9 a less protracted beta seems to have faltered somewhat...

Faltering on releases is standard operation around here, thinking otherwise is futile.

[arrbee99 1704]

I believe the correct phrase is ' Resistance is futile'. See Doctor Who, the Borg...

[justinrh 212]

If 4.9 is taking this long, then you can imagine how long >4.9 will take (ebr didn't say how many releases after 4.9!).  So just forget about it and be content. 

[arrbee99 1704]

Be content ? Seriously ? You just can't go round saying things like that. Where would the world be if everyone was just content. Imagine if V. Putin was just content with Russia's existing borders, imagine if J. Bezos was just content with being just a millionaire and actually used the rest to pay all those employees a bit more...Anarchy I tell you, anarchy.

[justinrh 212]

Well, I say that just so you won't keep stressing over something that may not happen in your lifetime.    Pretend there is 'next' TV and enjoy what you have now, since that is all there is ...

That would be nice, but it doesn't work properly so I still have to have a cable box which I have been paying for the privilege to keep for the last 4 years waiting for emby to actually work correctly for live TV.  Emby continues to eat up my hard drive until the OS crashes because of live TV, it truncates my recordings at random times, things that were scheduled to be recorded somehow just become unscheduled by themselves and I miss key recordings....too much to list.

Good thing we complained about the lack of progress 2 years ago.  It really sped them up...

[arrbee99 1704]

Not long to go now what with smart playlists being so spectacular dot dot dot

[neik 870]

If it wasn't for softworkz giving some insights here and there, we would be clueless.
Not so frequent in the forum anymore but communication is still horrible, unfortunately.  

[kikinjo 194]

4.2 Years and counting.....what a great "thank you" for paying premiere users.

[MadibaJ 20]

Still waiting for this to happen, it’s the one reason I haven’t fully switched over from Kodi yet. I just use Emby as the DB.

Is there any progress on this?
