Emby Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Program for sorting DOWNLOADED movies/games?

  I used to use Plex until I found Emby. I find Emby easier to use and it does the same thing. Just putting this here as a fourth option for OP. :). Source: 5 months ago

• Ask HN: What is your streaming setup like?

  I use https://emby.media along with private trackers and Usenet. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Just checking: Plex is still the best option right?

  You can find it here! I have both installed, but I generally keep EMBY turned off until I want to play around with it. You can have both running at once and both accessing the same folders. You can check it out for free. Source: 10 months ago

• Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.

• media server, bring old days and share with friends

  I went with Emby, personally. Plex, Jellyfin, etc are all good choices too! :). Source: 11 months ago

• Setting up a home media PC to stream to TV

  I used Plex until I found Emby, which is far easier to set up and works very well with all my media. Source: 12 months ago

• How to transfer files into Android TV via the internet?

  Emby is another option and is usually cheaper. Plex is free but the paid Plex Pass gives you a lot of features you might want later. Source: 12 months ago

• How to disable remote list of users?

  Anyone else though, should have to connect through emby connect, where they have to login to emby.media, and it'll direct them from here. I want no login screen (of users) to be shown when hitting my server remotely. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ultimate Media Server (30k BUDGET) build recommendations

  I wouldn't use Jellyfin for a project of this scale, but rather its commercial and better supported alternative, Emby. Jellyfin is actually an offshoot of it. Source: about 1 year ago

• Just Netflix Things.

  Emby (Some features are behind a premium membership). Source: over 1 year ago

• Is Emby.media down?

  Noticed I couldn't get to the forum to look into a question, then noticed I'm not able to get to https://emby.media at all ... Is it just me? Source: over 1 year ago

• Where do you stream music from?

  As for server applications, for home listening I'm running Logitech Media Server, and a combination of Emby and Synfonium for mobile listening. Source: over 1 year ago

• Emby hacked?

  Looks like someone goofed the link. Just change it to https and it works fine. emby.media is an official domain. Source: over 1 year ago

• Password Reset Required - email from Emby

  It doesn't appear to be phishing, as the link is a proper emby.media link. I would expect them to disclose something soon. Source: over 1 year ago

• Sodaplayer alternative / subsitute?

  Yeah, Emby. Its free tier is more than sufficient for most home users and even offers remote access. I'm been running it for years now on Windows and it works very well while offering a very pleasant UI/UX. Source: over 1 year ago

• Need help with Home server

  For video serving, I highly recommend Emby. It's very user friendly, supports multiple users/administrators, Google Cast and Apple AirPlay streaming natively, with UPnP-DLNA streaming available via a plug-in. It's free tier, which is all most people will need, supports secure remote access via the Internet. Tailscale, the VPN I mentioned previously, would allow that regardless, though.

• Hardware/Software recommendations

  I've been using the following for a number of years and really like it: https://emby.media/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Guys, recommend some good piracy apps that we should have

  Emby - media server similar to Plex. You could use Jellyfin as it is open source, but I ran into bugs and decided it was worth paying for Emby (though there is a free version). Source: over 1 year ago

• What music app do you all use?

  I use the program called Emby on an old laptop and it actually loads songs faster than Spotify when on 4G. I used a python script called SpotDL to download my entire spotify library as MP3s. Source: over 1 year ago

• Custom Tags and Android?

  I know that Emby facilities Collections quite easily as I've done it myself. And, Logitech Media Server facilities Virtual Libraries, which might work for you. Source: over 1 year ago
