iOS app requires Emby premiere?

[sector327 4]

Odd thing I just noticed on daughter's i-phone. When she tries to watch a movie on her i-phone using the Emby iOS app, it prompts for an emby premiere subscription. On my Android phone, I do not have to do that. 

 

Steps to reproduce & what we see:

Uninstall Emby app from her Apple phone. reboot just for good practice. 

turn off wifi (just to simulate coming in from the outside)

download and install app from the itunes appstore

open the app & select manually configure server with my url, login info.

at this point it asks to subscribe to Emby Premiere. 

 

I'm definitely not saying premiere is bad. I can't justify $6 a month when she might use it once every couple months when she's away from home and bored. Is this maybe something that is unique to the i-phone app?

iOS app is available 2 ways:

1. Premiere

2. App unlock

 

It isn’t available for free. I didn’t think Android was either.

Thanks folks.

 

Legallink, do you know where I can find out about the app unlock feature/cost? (Maybe I did buy the Android app. I can't remember).

 

I love Emby & I'm constantly recommending it over Plex. Great stuff

Ok. Found it. When I go watch a movie on her phone, there's an option for premiere OR app unlock. Thanks guys. I'll help her buy it
