![]() ![]() There's a license already bound to every chipset that supports h265. The licensing issue with h265 goes away if you only enable it in hardware. Still, it makes the "wait for AV1 to get here and just get by with h.264 until then" a much more reasonable plan(with strong financial incentives to do so) then it would have seemed just a year or two ago. At least, that is certainly starting to seem like a possibility, even if that is still probably at least a few years off realistically, since AV1 encoding is just now going to be coming out, but the decoders started showing up a couple years ago. AV1 is starting to see hardware implementation on the encoder side(per Intel announcement within the last few weeks) with nVidia not far behind, and because it is specifically made to not be patent encumbered and avoid the licensing costs associated with h.265, at this point in time, I think it's very possible a lot of things are planning to skip h.265 entirely and go to AV1 instead. In fact, the licensing is so ponderous, it directly lead to the next thing, the creation of AV1. MPEG-LA and some of it's members seem to have assumed h.265 was a forgone conclusion, and now everyone with a patent in the pool wants more money and this is hurting adoption in the very specific way that they banded together to avoid with h.264. Of course, that doesn't impact the dedicated clients, but it's still there.Ī major reason, possibly _the_ main one, that it hasn't happened is that the licensing requirements to enable h.265 encoding are far more cumbersome than they were in h.264, which was simplified to get it adopted. As a server-client, Emby Theater can be granted direct access to the multimedia content, without requiring additional resources for transcoding.There's much less incentive to implement h.265, as time is going on.įor one thing, h.265 support in browsers is almost non-existent afaik- basically at this point, it's only Safari on ios. Together with its server counterpart, Emby Theater implements a powerful media sharing and streaming solution, enabling you to enjoy videos and audio files you like on any computer in your network. An easy to configure client for Media Browser Server The built-in player is completely configurable, with customizable audio and video rendering options, streaming bitrate and filter set. ![]() ![]() To be more exact, the server streams multimedia content over the network and Emby Theater acts as a client that connects to the server's library.Īside from playing videos and music from Emby Server, the application can also fetch media content from an external disc and connect to external media players to open specific types of files. You can view videos and music files in your personal collection and start playing any of them, without downloading or sharing the file. Enjoy multimedia content on remote computers The application enables you to sort files in your library by various criteria, such as the file name, the rating, the creation date, IMDb rating or release date. Once connected, Emby Theater displays a list of all the folders in your library, exactly as you have organized them during server setup. Alternatively, you can log in via Emby Connect, so as to avoid having to specify the server configuration details. Access your Media Browser library on any network PCĬonfiguring the server-client connection is easy, considering you just have to enter the server's IP address and port number in order to sign in, but not before generating an API key for Emby Theater in Emby Server. With its help, you can gain access to your media library and play multimedia content on a remote workstation. Emby Theater acts as a client for Emby Server, enabling you to enjoy your favorite music and videos on any computer in the network. ![]()
