Software Update: Emby Server 3.0.5781.4

Version 3.0.5781.4 of Emby Server has been released. This open source media server for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, OS X and various NAS devices can index and serve content to clients on the same machine, within the local network or over the Internet. Clients are available for the aforementioned operating systems, among others, but content can also be viewed on iOS, Android, Windows Phone and Google TV, for example. The program is thus comparable with Plex Media Server. The changelog for this release can be found below.

Encoding with Intel Quick Sync is Here!

There’s a lot of great changes going on in our dev branch. Seriously, if you have a system to spare for testing, you should think about joining in on the fun. Quick Sync encoding has been sitting in dev for a while and we’re excited to finally bring it to you. Please note – we’re still considering this experimental and it is not yet supported on all operating systems. It’s currently limited to Windows and select Linux releases.

To try it out, just enable it in the server dashboard. Important: Your setting for hardware decoding has now been reset and merged into one hardware acceleration setting.

This feature has been previously exposed to a limited test audience and we don’t expect it will be perfect just yet. If you run into any issues, please let us know.
