I don’t think you can use a transit visa for a work visit. It’s just for a short tourist jaunt while transiting. 

You don’t have to visit the consulate/embassy if you hire an agency to do the work.

It’s not that hard nowadays. Takes 4-5 days to get a visa normally if you have access to an Embassy or Consulate. For a business visa you need a letter from the Chinese company.

Shenzhen also has a separate visa policy. Way easier than the normal Mainland Visa.

Bummer. That’s always the issue with free stuff. Either it’s awesome like Emby or it’s awesome for a while and then dies....

Neat. How is it with updates and support?
