Description
A drive full of movies, shows and photos at home, and you want them on the living-room TV, the phone and the tablet — but instead you shuttle a USB stick around or cannot remember which computer the file is on. Emby runs as a server on an always-on machine and organizes all that media into a poster wall that every device in the house can play from.
A server download paired with clients on each platform. Your media, your server, with nothing going through a cloud.
Automatic scraping: it scans the library and matches posters, synopses, cast and episode data, turning messy files into a tidy poster wall.
Clients everywhere: phones, tablets, smart TVs, set-top boxes and browsers all have clients, so any screen in the house plays from the server.
Transcoding: the server transcodes to suit the device and network, so formats an older TV cannot handle still play smoothly.
Live TV and recording: connect a TV tuner or IPTV source to watch live television and schedule recordings, using it as a home DVR.
Multi-user and parental controls: give family members their own accounts with separate watch history and permissions, and restrict what children can see.
