• 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: Reddit / 2 months 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: Reddit / 2 months 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: Reddit / 2 months 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: Reddit / 2 months 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: Reddit / 2 months 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. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Hardware/Software recommendations

  I've been using the following for a number of years and really like it: https://emby.media/. - Source: Reddit / 4 months 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: Reddit / 5 months 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: Reddit / 5 months 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: Reddit / 6 months ago

• Do I need a streamer to connect an hard disk with music files to my amp?

  If you don't need any DSP (ex. Room Correction EQ) one of the most user friendly is Emby. Its freeware version will suffice for home usage as it allows for multiple users. It also supports remote streaming away from one's home network. I've personally used it for a number of years now. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

• Streamer software option.

  Emby allows for remote access, but only if the modem is configured properly. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

• I ditched those two and never looked back since

• Plex breach exposes usernames, emails, and encrypted passwords

  Emby Media server is a perfect replacement for this awful bloated mess of a program. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

• Possible to direct stream music from PC to KEF LS50W via WiFi

  If you'd like a free and easy to use server package, I'm going to suggest Emby with its DLNA plug-in. It's what I use for a setup similar to yours, but streaming to an integrated amplifier with passive speakers instead. It's the same operating principle as your system but with the electronics being outboard. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

• Which android app to install on Sony Smart TV to play from Synology Video Station?

  But I'd recommend you look into a full fledged media server like PLEX, emby or Jellyfin. I use PLEX on a DS918+ and I'm more than happy with it. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

• Any good alternatives to Plex?

  Jellyfin (free and opensource) and Emby (very similar, some features paid). - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

• I'm genuinely unsure how i manage to do this

  Emby (Some features are behind a premium membership). - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago

• Looking for guidance

  This is the way. There are several other competing programs, like jellyfin, or emby and more, but imho PLEX is the best at the moment. And it is possible to make sure it works without the internet by setting the IP addresses (or range) which are allowed to access the server without logging on in PLEX settings (although this might also be true for most of the alternatives). A. If you want total freedom and control... - Source: Reddit / 8 months ago
