Keep in mind, for Emby you have to set up your own secure remote access. Emby doesn't offer anything out of the box for security. Everything is sent using HTTP protocol. So if you try to access your server remotely, you're sending everything in clear text including your user name and password.

[@chefbennyj]

Caddy server is an easy idea for this.

The arrow to scroll to the right doesn't appear when i'm trying to view episodes. Any suggestions?

[@antoniomanuelfidalgo7565]

Great video

[@ManitobaMan]

I stumbled across Emby when my Plex bricked on me on the last update. After much troubleshooting, I finally decided to look for another option. I'm very impressed so far. The only thing that is missing is an app for my Samsung smart TV (Canadian version). But a Chromecast Ultra will solve for that easily. Recommended!

Thanks for watching :)

[@timschubeck5973]

There is a version for your Samsung via USB. Check the Emby site, in the Samsung section.

Gotta love a guy who is into the lady from NYC.

Just lost my comment :( So going to write it again :) Not sure if anyone is aware that Emby is now closed source - emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/64825-with-3530-emby-is-no-longer-open-source/ But there is a fork on Github called Jellyfin - github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin I'm running Jellyfin via a Docker container and it's working really well, it's available for a number of OSs as well. Here is a reddit post announcing Jellyfin and of course a load of comments - www.reddit.com/r/emby/comments/a545g9/annoucing_jellyfin_a_free_software_fork_of_emby/ Personally I'd rather run Jellyfin than either Plex or Emby, but thats just my opinion.

[@UnkyjoesPlayhouse]

Thanks for the info, and for watching :)

[@sethbreese1122]

I can't get subtitles to work. This is a problem

[@thatsrevoltin6218]

Cancelled Plex due to their hostile commercials - content that pissed me off hardcore so I fired them. Emby is better looking too

[@ikkuranus]

The only things I don't like is the free version nags you and server dashboard looks a bit less modern (my opinion)

[@winecountrygames1859]

I was a plex user I really like the speed and UI of Emby. Also one question the only thing I really dont like that plex has is the library only shows 1-3 letters of movies/shows and then you have to go to the next page is there a way to set it up so it just keeps scrolling to the bottom like plex?

[@jimmymolinaro7554]

you mentioned you would keep the older interface format of Plex and work with that. I'm pretty you cant do that. Doesn't it upgrade automatically as soon as they put it online, when you turn Plex on? You have no control over stopping it. At least I didn't when the last "plugin removal-new interface" upgrade occured . Bam its there, no going back.

[@UnkyjoesPlayhouse]

You can turn the update feature off on both Emby and Plex, which is what I do. Thanks for watching :)

[@kristi8431]

Are you aware of anyone that sells monthly access to their Emby server? I was using one that was great, but unfortunately they had problems after the recent Emby update. Thanks!

[@talktomenowxbmc]

I tried Emby before, but it looks like they caught up to Plex. I might give try again. However', I do not like their theater interface. Instead I would prefer to use it with Kodi. Can you make video about Kodi plugin for Emby ?

[@jerrycrumety1571]

Yeah the device limit for the premier features killed it for me, I have well over the limit alone and then the others in and out of the house. Besides, already a lifetime Plex member. On the bright side I am a sucker for trying something new lol, thanks UJ

[@UnkyjoesPlayhouse]

15 devices is a lot of devices...who are you? KZbin :)

[@jerrycrumety1571]

Lol, multiple consoles, mobiles etc. it’s not that they will access all at one time. It’s more the principle of the limiting factor, especially if you fork out for the lifetime subscription. But, I assume I don’t have to give the outside streamers the code, all they need is to watch the movies/shows. Or am I not understanding how the premier actually works? It is a bit convoluted.

[@UnkyjoesPlayhouse]

1: I don't do lifetime subs anymore "think TIVO" I think they are referring to 15 Total devices, inside and outside of your network. 2: Your use case is much different than mine. I may have 3 users at a time watching and all inside of my local network, I have not even tried getting Plex to play outside my network "not even interested" in that feature, so my results fit my particular use case.. I still prefer this interface to the new Plex one, and it is much faster playing videos and tuning in live tv than Plex has ever been. YMMV :)

[@UnkyjoesPlayhouse]

P.S. Even with the 15 devices, you can manage those from the interface, remove or add to your hearts content, so that might be a solution.

[@jerrycrumety1571]

Thanks, I’m definitely going to give it a shot this weekend.

[@meowmeow3588]

would like to try out Emby but couldn't find the app on my Samsung smart TV 7 series, any idea how I can?

[@UnkyjoesPlayhouse]

Sorry, I have no idea, have you tried a Google search on the issue? Thanks for watching :)

[@Lesterandsons]

what emby should do or plex should do ? good pres.

-Emby is open source.- Jellyfin is open source.

[@NewYears1978]

I thought about Jellyfin once. It looks like a direct rip of Emby but as you say, open source. But it's interface is even more stripped down with even less customization options, which is bad because Emby already can't be customized hardly at all. I wish Emby or Jellyfin had some real visual customizations, like Kodi has.

[@highflowhighflow9896]

Does it support playing movies and series directly from rar archives? i do now with Kodi but i dont like the interface , its awefull but it works.

[@UnkyjoesPlayhouse]

I have no idea, thanks for watching though :)

[@SakuraChan00]

well I might of checked it out if i dident have a lifetime prem account for plex for my cablecard dual tuner (WinTV DCR-2650) so for that plex for video content and subsonic for music prem account lifetimes for both as plex and prob emby would hose my music as far as metadata goes

[@dexternightcrawler]

Dude you should hide your wan IP address

[@socaminister]

good day I need to get in contact with you, do you have an email so we can talk. i need some help

[@NomaddUK]

Why do americans use mm/dd/yy as a date format? It makes absolutely no sense! You cannot sort dates at all.

[@UnkyjoesPlayhouse]

same reason we don't use the metric system, we don't like it :) Thanks for watching :)

[@edstar83]

@@UnkyjoesPlayhouse The metric system is more accurate. The rest of the world uses it for a reason. I rarely use the imperial system just for rough guesstimates.

[@UnkyjoesPlayhouse]

I would have to disagree, part of the imperial system is based on ancient forms of measurement, it is partially based off of sacred geometry and sacred units of measurement, something we don't need to forget, check out Randal Carlson, and then there is this askawiseman.com/metric/

[@UnkyjoesPlayhouse]

and this grahamhancock.com/onstotts1/

[@UnkyjoesPlayhouse]

to be fair, I used the metric system when doing construction work as I am not fond of fractions when measuring cuts, however the US will NEVER adopt the metric system, they tried it when I was a kid in the 1970's and people did not like it here in the States....we like, miles-feet-yards-F instead of C etc etc etc
