Software Update: Emby 4.6.6

Version 4.6.6 of Emby Server has been released. This media server for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, macOS and various NAS devices can index and serve content to clients on the same machine, within the local network or over the Internet. Until version 3.6 it was open source, but is that no longer† Clients are available for the aforementioned operating systems, but content can also be viewed on iOS, Android, various media players and Google TV, for example. The program is thus comparable with Plex Media Server. The complete release notes with screenshots are on this page to find. This is the same text without pictures:
