softworkz 4496 Posted December 19, 2024 Posted December 19, 2024 (edited) UPDATE Hello everybody! The release of our new Window & Xbox apps in December 2024 was overshadowed by the unexpected rejection of the HEVC Playback capability by the MS Store for Xbox (only - the Windows app was unaffected). As a temporary remedy for Xbox users, we had established the Emby Xbox Holiday Bonanza. which allowed to register for a private version of the app with HEVC playback enabled: The "Emby Plus" app. Today (March 25, 2025) we are glad to announce the following changes: The Emby Xbox Holiday Bonanza program is closed The Emby Plus app is discontinued Starting from version 2.222.0, HEVC playback is included and enabled in the regular app releases What does this mean for current users of the Emby Plus app? There is no action required Emby Plus users will automatically be updated to 2.222.0 (or later) There is no drawback in any direction Version from 2.222.0 on provide the exact same capabilities like the Emby Plus app had offered before already We apologize for all the inconvenience, questions, support interactions and uncertainties this has caused for our users. The Emby Team This topic is locked now. Please create new topics in case of any questions. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Original Message Xbox Users!
