Wow just installed and tried on fresh install of Kodi and I'm blown away! Longtime user of both MB2 and MB3 but always had to keep an install of XBMC/Kodi on the HTPC to appease the wife. This was much easier to set up than my current Kodi XBMB3C combination and the speed at which it works is astounding. As you said initial sync took some time but it has work well with every skin I have used and gives me the best of both worlds the superior back end of Emby with the wife acceptance of Kodi, Hard to believe its a beta, thanks for the great work on this. I very rarely comment but this project deserves praise for an incredible amount hard work to deliverer an excellent 1st experience. Well done!

Today we pushed a release for our Windows Phone app (8.0.66.0) which sees a massive improvement in streaming and what the app is requiring the server to transcode. So what does this mean? Basically, if you have a video in your collection that your Windows Phone device would be able to play natively (as if you dragged the video onto your phone from your PC), then the server will know that it doesn't need to transcode the video, it can do a direct stream to your phone. This decreases the load placed upon your server machine and also increases your experience whilst watching the video. This release also contains some smaller bug fixes around audio playback, if you were trying to stream just one track, this would fail to play, we have corrected that. A full list of bug fixes can be found on Github. Now, I know what you're thinking, that's two releases for this app in a row that have mainly been bug fixes. Fear not! I promise you, the next release will be big! Offline big! And to address your other thought: yes, this will be the last major release of this app to appear under the Media Browser monika. The next release will not only have Offline support, but will be sporting our new name, Emby. You can download the update from http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=f4971ed9-f651-4bf6-84bb-94fd98613b86 As always, if you download the app (or even if you already have the app installed), do please remember to rate/review the app, we really do appreciate those.
