This is running an emby server using the emby unraid docker.Īt my Home2, I have a Windows 10 PC that I have installed Emby server and I connect to my Home1 VPN network to be able to access my files.Īt Home2, I set my library to \\\libraryĪnd I'm also setting the metadata to \\\appdata\binhex-emby\metadata\ I run an unraid server at home1 with my router as a OpenVPN tunnel so I can connect to my home network.

I don't mean to belabor this in a docker thread but just trying to learn and perhaps alert anyone else coming here running Kodi on Android thinking swapping to an Emby server as a back end is some kind of simple no brainer replacement for a traditional Kodi standalone or Kodi MySQL solution. I'm becoming convinced converting everything to mkv will make life easier in the long run but for me that's a lot of converting to do.

iso or movie folder playback issues suggest converting to. iso support in general with an Emby server seems very limited.įurther, movie folder support in Emby in general seems to be limited and many if not all recent replies from Emby support for. The Emby server doesn't seem to currently support. iso support on Nvidia Shield TV Android clients which works well with a traditional Kodi standalone back end and (presumably) a Kodi MySQL shared back end. Unless I'm missing something, it seems using the Emby docker strictly as a back end for Kodi clients doesn't cover the same use cases though. I had been targeting the Linuxserver.io headless Kodi docker but since some there seemed to now favor this one I came here. This data can be pulled with the Emby/Kodi add on, and run natively on Kodi clients. Wasn't sure what that meant so I dug a bit further and it appears people use Emby as the backend server that gets updated with media. Read a post about how the Linuxserver.io guys were mostly on Emby these days as it related to Kodi. The reason I've been on the sticks recently is for the native Netflix App as this has always been a bit of a hassle to get to work (and continue working) on Kodi. Have used everything from the original RPi, to RPi 3, and Chromebox. I'm running a dual E5-2670 CPU setup along with 64GB RAM so fortunately backend transcoding works pretty well.īefore the Fire Sticks 4k, I was most recently running a couple VMs of LibreELEC off this server for my client devices, and then using a basic graphics card to output the video. I'm going to keep playing around with Emby and see where it takes me. Emby requires this to properly organize TV Episodes, but I keep a lot of Japanese anime that don't show up on TVDB so I can work with it.

I'm only using a Pentium G4620 to do HA transcoding and is usually get around 60-120 fps transcoding 1080p streams - but I'm typically doing just one stream, maybe two at most.įYI: I never liked how Plex Server worked, and I think its because of the mandatory file naming scheme. If you have exotic media (4K, Hi10p, HEVC, HDR, fancy subtitles) a beefier local client is advised (Kodi on a x86 mini pc or android with an external player) unless you have a server with the appropriate CPU power and hardware assisted transcoding (makes a world of difference) I'm mainly using a Roku express, Web browsers, android and ios Emby clients while out of the network. I've used Kodi (LibreELEC on an 5th gen i3 intel NUC) with Emb圜on to access the library, and a Roku Premier localy. Its main purpose for me is to organize the media that I have (I haven't started cleaning up my soundtrack rips or pictures) I'm using Emby for both backend library as well as frontend clients (Only the builtin browser client and Roku client is truly free, but I have premier so everything else is free)
