Download Emby 4.1

Version 4.1 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, 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 release notes for this release can be found below.
