One of my top alternatives to Windows Media Center and featured in my new Windows 10 book is Emby Server. Emby is a media server for storing all your media on and has addons like live TV and EPG.

The server has just been updated with several fixes and main changes is encoding with Intel Quick Sync which should mean improved server performance when you stream videos from the server that require transcoding. The Emby team are classing this as experimental at the moment so you have to switch on the encoding in the Transcoding setting screen.

Other changes include:

  • Fix password reset function bouncing users back to the login screen
  • Update tvdb to support lookup using Imdb id
  • Update live tv user data
  • Update live tv recording engine
  • Fix fanart downloading banners as season posters
  • Reduce size of http request logging
  • Update Kodi dlna profile to handle more subtitle formats
  • Update auto-organize to handle null episode title
  • Update all translations
