Essentially, if it has a browser, you have access to the Emby server. Streams to just about everything in the house. The wizard walks you through it in the beginning and if you want to add additional libraries, that is very easy to do through the configuration tool. It’s super easy to add media libraries to Emby. It is super simple and the script also seems to, at least on the version I installed, start and enable the emby-server service. It is nothing more than copying one line into a terminal and executing it. All these are really nice features that demonstrate an extra set of care and polish. Probably more important when streaming outside of your home. Other playback features include changing the resolution and bitrate. This is certainly a nicely polished product.
LINUX EMBY SERVER MOVIE
The home screen is very handy, it is the starting point to go into your different media repositories and to continue watching what you have started or to search for a movie or show in which you are interested.Ī nice touch, when you launch a movie, there is a still in the background and in the upper left corner of the player, is a logo representing the movie title. I’m sure there is a better way.Īfter the installation, open a web browser to to perform the setup of the service.
LINUX EMBY SERVER INSTALL
From what I can tell, I will have to install updates manually.
This doesn’t install a repository or anything so at this point, I am unsure about how updates are handled. The command uses zypper to install an RPM from a GitHub repository. Since I am installing on 64bit x86 architecture, and I am not interested in beta testing Emby, I chose the first option. Two are for the x86_64 architecture, the other four are ARM options. There are 6 options from which to choose. There is a nice little drop down where you can select “OpenSuse” very sadly cased incorrectly but that is a small detail, nothing terrible, I’ve made mistakes too in casing the project name.
Instructions for openSUSE were right there, ready and waiting for me to utilize them. The installation was surprisingly easy to do with Emby on openSUSE. This is a review of only the free services, not the paid features.
LINUX EMBY SERVER TV
This is my review, with no real expectations, other than to easily have access to my movies and TV shows from any device in the house. At the very beginning of this exercise, I decided I want to try out three different server products, Plex, Emby and Jellyfin. I chose it largely because I heard of Plex and wanted to try something that was open source based, more on that later. My first stop in exploring media servers in Linux was Emby. I have known others that have done this and have always been impressed by it. I had heard about having something like Netflix or Hulu in the form of Plex. One of the main reasons I build a computer was for the purposes of hosting my video content on my system and serve it to other machines.
