A new release of Emby Server is currently rolling out. This new release has a lot of important bug fixes, as well as new features. It's also much faster than ever before and we think you're going to enjoy that. Let's go over the highlights. New Levels of Performance This release of Emby Server is faster than you've ever seen it. All areas will be improved including the following: Faster browsing performance in all apps Faster library scans Faster scheduled tasks For those running the Kodi sync plugin, the sync process will be faster as well Faster playback start time IPv6 now Supported on All Operating Systems On Linux, this will require the mono 4.6 run time, which our Linux packages now ship with. This also requires that IPv6 be supported by the host operating system (Unraid for example does not support IPv6). Subtitle Encoding Improvements Several issues have been resolved related to subtitle encoding and display of special characters. Separate Latest Media By Library On the web app home screen, you'll now see separate rows of latest media for each library. On touch devices these rows can be swiped horizontally. This puts more content right at your fingertips. Refreshed Detail Screen It's now more consistent with our other apps, and makes better use of screen real estate. More Live TV Seeking Support Seeking Live TV is now supported in the web app in mobile Edge and Safari for Mac. This now brings the roster of supported browsers to: Chrome Firefox Opera Edge on all Windows 10 devices All other Chromium based browsers (like Vivaldi). Safari on Mac Better Recording Schedule Images The recording schedule screens will now make better use of images, making your DVR more fun than ever before. New Recording Options You now have the option to preserve original video when recording. Recording Post-Processing You now have the ability to run a post-processing application after completing a recording. Redesigned Series Recording Management The same great features, but now they look better than ever before. Xml TV Movie Prefix Support If your xml tv data applies prefixes to your movies, you can now specify this on the xml tv setup screen. This will allow Emby to better handle the prefix in relation to displaying the content and searching for internet metadata.

Emby for Andriod TV/Fire TV 1.3 We are very excited to announce a new and improved version of one of our flagship TV apps. This version brings increased stability and the addition of support for HD (lossless) audio pass thru on supported devices. Lossless HD Audio This version brings the ability to bitstream DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD audio to the Android TV platform (supported device and audio equipment required) making it a true alternative to a cumbersome HTPC setup even in your dedicated media rooms. Increased Stability We went on a pretty serious bug hunt in our own code with this version but also upgraded many of the framework and 3rd-party components we use which brings even better stability and speed for both browsing and playback. We think you'll be very pleased with the app's performance. Other Improvements In addition to the above, the new version includes the following other improvements: Chapters and media info now displayed for plain videos User-controlled playback problem handling Fix OSD showing with some TVs when volume buttons pressed Improve refresh rate switching Improve transcoding need determination for more direct streaming Simplify user settings Fix not being able to play audio podcasts Add option to not show the "Up Next" preview at the end of episode playback Add 100Mb max bitrate setting Fix the sort order by date in grid views Remember the last zoom setting for videos and re select it on subsequent playback * Note: The Nvida Shield is the only current hardware known to support lossless HD audio pass thru. Hopefully, more devices will in the future.
