emby for windows arm64 support?

[kkchaosx 0]

The new emby app supports only x86&x64，while the old one has native arm64 support.

Any plan to get arm64 support angain?

Hi, yes it's certainly something we can look at in future updates. Thanks for the feedback.

I would also like to request this. I had naively assumed since the windows client ran on webview2 that it had already been a feature

Just adding my 2 cents here as well...with more Windows PC's now coming out with arm64, it would be really beneficial.

Having recently bought a Snapdragon laptop, I'm joining in on the bandwagon to request an ARM64 build as well.

Hey @Luke, any thoughts on when this might be able to happen?  I'm assuming (and I know it's probably a bad assumption), that for the most part it should be just a matter of compiling for ARM, unless you're using some libraries that don't have ARM counterparts yet.

I'd say just use the web browser. Browsers have come so far in regards to their ability to play back media it's ridiculous. You really no longer need a dedicated app if you're using Chromium based browsers as they will handle MKV files perfectly fine pretty much regardless of the contents.

Except I just tried that like 10 minutes ago and for DV content, it won't display properly (at least in Chrome, haven't tried others).

Browsers don't have download/sync features for offline play. Also a lot more content will have to get transcoded for browser streams instead of through mpv, it just doesn't support as many audio and video codecs.

DV content is it's own problem as it's proprietary. It only just started working on Windows x64 because of Windows 11 2H2. Try using Edge Dev edition. Chrome itself should just not be used because of Manifest 3 and it's data collection.

edit: apparently MS added DV support to Edge way back in 2020. It's possible they have ignored ARM.

Firefox supports almost all of them..As for offline line play, if it's your own server, you just connect to it over the network and grab the files.

Conversely, you could also use Kodi.

Edit: I know you Windows ARM users aren't happy, but you have to understand there are less of you than there are Mac users..it's probably not a priority for the team.

Tried FF, Edge and Chrome - all will direct play DV but with improper colors (purple tint).

Emby app plays properly, and detects my laptop HDR display properly as well.
