About this APK

Emby for Android is an app by Mark Linton in the Video Players & Editors category, listed since at least December 2014. It includes native code only for ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.

Since version 2.7.35, the APK grew from 41.7 MB to 46.7 MB and the minimum Android version rose from 4.0 to 4.1. It asks for 11 permissions, 2 of them sensitive: read shared storage and modify shared storage. Compared with version 2.7.35, it adds 2 new permissions (“Receive push notifications” and “Run at startup”) and drops 3 (“Authenticate accounts”, “Read sync stats” and “Write sync settings”). The app offers in-app purchases through Google Play.
