Emby

Emby, not an afterthought.

Does it play the original?

  • Dolby VisionProfiles 5, 7, 8.1 and 8.4
  • Dolby AtmosStream-copied from E-AC-3, not re-encoded
  • TrueHD and DTS-HD MAPlay free, bridged to surround or lossless FLAC
  • Your serverDelivers the original or a supported conversion

Plozz handles compatible original files on the device. On iPhone and iPad, quality limits can ask Emby to convert instead. Server configuration and permissions still apply.

Can I make the subtitles readable?

The subtitle style panel open during playback, with OpenDyslexic selected and the subtitle rendered in it

Style two tracks at once, adjust position in 0.5% steps and search for missing subtitles from the player. Emby-confirmed file matches get their own badge.

At home or away

  • Mobile streaming quality

    Movie and episode presets or independent resolution and total-bitrate limits on iPhone/iPad. Save defaults per Plozz profile and network category; player changes are temporary.

  • Conversion limits

    Automatic, Prefer HEVC or Prefer H.264 where supported. Emby’s encoder settings and entitlements apply; HDR tone mapping may require Premiere, and conversion success isn’t guaranteed.

  • Offline downloads

    Save films and episodes on iPhone and iPad. These use their own download controls, not the current streaming-quality limit.

  • Files and editions

    Switch on the active Emby account from the TV or mobile player, keeping position and settings. Different cuts can have different timelines.

  • Library navigation

    Jump to a letter in name-sorted individual and combined libraries, with remote-focused navigation on Apple TV.

  • Clear playback facts

    Current converted-stream formats are separate from the original file. Unknown output never inherits the original’s HDR or Atmos badge.
