The weird thing is I get cover art and hardware transcoding with Emby but I've never paid. I know it has it because 4k playback was lagging until I enabled it 🤷‍♂️ and it would be weird to imagine emby without cover art of any kind. Doesn't every media app just scrape by title? Is this referring to something else?

I also use the native emby app on my phone, I think my smart TV has it too, unpaid. Man, I'm really confused about their paid features lol everything I think would be needed seems to be in native Emby as well. So weird.

Good to know though, I could see downloading for offline use being very useful for travel and stuff.
