More GPUs. One Emby Server. Introducing OmniTranscode. Put other computers’ GPUs to work. Emby Server on Windows or Linux connects to Linux x64, Linux ARM64, Windows x64, and macOS ARM64 hosts.

All you need: a supported OS with a GPU, SSH access enabled, and a fast network. Emby Server takes it from there. Automatic setup. Ready to transcode in 3 minutes.

Connect a host. Choose automatic setup. Emby Server prepares the host: automatic FFmpeg installation and updates, folder access, and remote hardware detection. Configure local and remote GPUs together, then watch a remote transcoding job run.

Handled by Emby Server. No lengthy setup guides. No command-line setup. No config files to edit. No network shares. No path mappings. Just Emby Server.

An Emby innovation. OmniTranscode. Part of the new transcoding update. Coming soon to Emby Server Beta.
