A new version of Emby Server is available and brings some important bug fixes along with valuable new features. Here are the highlights:

Remember Me

The Emby Web app now has a "Remember Me" option on the login screen.

Most of the time you'll want to leave this checked, but in certain situations you may prefer to always have your users login.

Emby Theater and Emby for Android also have this feature, and it is coming soon to Emby for iOS.

New VAAPI Transcoding

Thanks to the help of the Emby community, we now have support for expiremental VA API transcoding. It's easily enabled in the Emby Server web interface.

Please note: You will need to ensure your ffmpeg build supports VA API.
