Update Help

[BritOnion 0]

So, I'm pretty new to using emby, the dashboard says that I need to update the server manually, and the mobile app (on windows phone, android and iOS) is telling me to update. This may sound stupid, but I have no idea how to update the server, and I really don't want to have to fix my metadata again (I spent a full day fixing the metadata on Adventure Time). I'm using a Mac Mini, running Yosemite, can someone tell me how to update the server without screwing things up? Thanks

Hi, welcome! All you need to do is go to the emby website and run the installer again.

It will install the update on top of your existing version. Thanks!

I've posted the mac version of the new release a little early so that new users can start getting it now. You can grab it from the website if you'd like to try it:

The release is not up on the blog yet but you can read the changelist from the latest beta:

Lots of performance improvements, bug fixes, and a few new features. Enjoy.
