You need an Emby Premiere account even to watch media IN MY OWN PC (emby Windows Desktop version, server in the same computer). Waste of time configuring this thing.

Allows Full Video and Audio Streaming anywhere in the world and setup is extremely easy.
Everytime they do an update it breaks the server. It takes days or weeks to fix it so I can watch the movies. I cannot even watch the movies on the server it is so broken. The help is scant. Even if you pay the monthly fee the help is less then helpful. I have had to uninstall and reinstall, unhook the drives and rehook the drives, remove the folders and reinstall the folders, etc. etc. then it works, but the next time we attempt to connect it falls apart.
Currently Version 3.5.2.0 doesn't appear to want to work with Linux Mint... any version.
I use it in a container dedicated exclusively to the app. I've never had a problem with updates. Try installing it in a container as an experience.

Very easy to install on Raspberry. It is the only software that I was able to install on my Raspberry (with Plex but Plex is too cloud-oriented).
I really like the design.
Will see in the time how it goes.
Utilizo há mais de 5 anos e sempre me atendeu muito bem. Encontrei a ferramenta quando utilizava o Kodi e foi muito fácil trocar, pois o Emby é bem mais fácil de configurar. Hoje estou com a versão paga e muito contente com o resultado.
I've been using it for over 5 years and it's always been great. I found the tool when using Kodi and it was very easy to change, as Emby is much easier to configure. Today I have the paid version and very happy with the result.
I was slow to adopt Emby because it was complicated to set up with my particular network configuration.
The Good: it finally got me to wrap my head around nfs and deal with sharing my media using NFS. Also, the library management is miles ahead of, for example, Kodi.
The Bad: However, I had thought that it was a free solution for me to stream my owned content to myself on my own network. It seems that I have to pay them money to do that. I will be looking into Jellyfin, but in the meantime will continue to use Kodi, which just works, despite some of its drawbacks, and doesn't force me to pay again to use media I've purchased.
