Emby the powerful home media application formerly known as Media Browser or MB3. You may have heard me or read my blog posts regarding Media Browser and how highly I rate it. The popular alternative to plex has undergone a name change, something sorter and trendier than the previous name. It was received with mixed reviews however I personally like the new name, its catchy short and keeps to its origins (say M B - emby). Along with the new name has come a new logo and again it suits the name perfectly and hopefully one day it will be as recognisable as leading brands.
So why am I blogging this? Well mainly to give you an update of what's happened to my favourite media application but also to inform people how the team at emby are progressing. Recently there's been a major server update which has seen a host of changes (screenshot 1). Along with the back end the web client has seen some minor improvements and bug fixes. The biggest changes are to the Kodi and Roku apps, both seen huge performance improvements and style improvements. Other apps such as the Windows mobile and Android have also followed suit. One of the biggest let downs at the moment is the iOS app. The previous iOS app was developed by some one not affiliated to emby so unfortunately hasn't seen any new updates, however the emby team have assured the community that they are working hard on their own iOS app which will be released in the near future, something I cant wait to see.
