Luke 37066 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Hi, not currently but I’m hoping to do a beta for macOS soon. Thanks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blgentry 49 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I'm a very excited new adopter of Emby. My chosen server platform is MacOS. I'm currently running the 4.7.14 Intel version, as it works properly with the Cover Art Plugin, while the ARM version does not. I would very much enjoy trying out the 4.8 Beta on MacOS. I'm hoping this post encourages the person that does the MacOS development to release a beta build. Your MacOS customers are out here! Thanks for reading, Brian. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keemy 9 Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 I would be very happy to participate in beta testing for MacOS as well. Any plans to integrate hardware transcoding for M1/M2 chips? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blgentry 49 Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I'm still waiting and hoping for a MacOS beta build. I see a new beta came out yesterday, but sadly nothing for Mac. Please? Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m dying to try the new version Also just for curiosity, why Mac OS beta version is not included like the rest of the version every beta build? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame we Mac users haven't been able to join in the 18 months of beta testing for this new version. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blgentry 49 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 If Emby server 4.8 is going to be released "soon" as has been discussed elsewhere, doesn't it make sense to get all of the platform targets to a buildable state as soon as possible? There appear to be at least a dozen and a half targets that are build with each of the beta releases. All kinds of odd things like Western Digital NAS builds. But the MacOS build has never shown up. If it is tricky to build that for some reason, doesn't it make sense to start doing that now, rather than wait until 4.8 is about to be released? Or are you actually deciding that you are not going to support MacOS as a server any more? I would be very sad if that were true. I'm asking because it's super weird that you have so many different targets built, but not MacOS. Thanks for reading. Brina. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blgentry 49 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I see there's another new build of 4.8 and no MacOS version. At this point I'm wondering if I need to plan on moving to a different platform for Emby. Is Emby Server 4.8 going to be available and supported for MacOS? I really hope so. If not, I'd like to know sooner than later. Thanks, Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will 4.8 release for macOS at the same time as other platforms? I’ve seen you comment that 4.8 is almost ready to go stable, but with zero beta testing for Mac, will it be ready for launch? Have you been testing it internally? Or is the Mac version so similar to the other versions that you’re not worried about Mac-exclusive bugs?

Hi Luke is this version including the hardware acceleration? If so I could not get it to work. I also can test the Mac version on a couple of M chips models if it would help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmramsayii 9 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Hey @Lukewoild it be possible to get the latest .64 beta build?
