The Emby Web App is the main interface between you and your Emby Server, allowing you to manage server settings, share content with friends and view media content.
Setup Guide
The Emby Web App is included with your installation of Emby Server.
To access it just open a web browser and visit: http://{your server ip}:8086.
Server Management
The Emby Web App is a convenient place to manage all aspects of your Emby Server, including the Library Setup, Users, Plugins, and more.
Chromecast and Remote Control
The Emby Web App supports casting to Chromecast devices and other Emby apps. To connect to your Chromecast device, simply click the cast icon in the top right corner of the app. You'll then be asked which device you'd like to connect to. Once connected, any content you play will be sent to the Chromecast device. You're able to play individual files, entire folders, shuffle, instant mix, queue, and more. For more information, see Chromecast.
Direct Play Media Formats
The Emby Web app can direct play media to your browser when the browser supports the format natively. Please check your web browser of choice for it's supported media formats.
Best Practices for Direct Play
Leave the app's streaming bitrate setting on the default value of Auto, if possible. The app will perform bandwidth tests with your Emby Server to determine the maximum playable bitrate.
Emby Client Mac
If you are customizing the bitrate setting, then you will need to compare the bitrate of your files to the bitrate setting in the app. You can find the bitrate of a file by checking the media info in the web interface. If the bitrate of a file is higher than the setting in the app, transcoding will be required. Increasing the bitrate setting in the app can help reduce transcoding, but may impact playback performance if your network connection is not fast enough to handle it.

Emby (formerly Media Browser)[2] is a media server designed to organize, play, and stream audio and video to a variety of devices.[3] Emby's source code was mostly open with some closed-source components as of August 2017,[4] releases of the software published via the Emby website are however proprietary[5] and cannot be replicated from source due to the build scripts also being proprietary. As of version 3.5.3 Emby has been relicensed and is now closed-source, while open source components will be moved to plugins.[6] Due to this, a free open source fork of Emby was created called Jellyfin.[7] Emby uses a client-server model.
Emby Server has been developed for Windows, Linux, macOS, and FreeBSD. Users can connect to the server from a compatible client, available on a wide variety of platforms including HTML5, mobile platforms such as Android and iOS, streaming devices such as Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast, and Apple TV, smart TV platforms such as LG Smart TV and Samsung Smart TV, and video game consoles including the Xbox 360, and Xbox One.[8][9]
Emby Premiere[edit]
Emby Media Server Apk
While watching and streaming media with Emby server is free, a number of features of its clients require an active Emby Premiere subscription. As of March 23, 2021, Emby Premiere is $4.99 monthly, $54 yearly, or a $119 'lifetime' license. For example, users can watch content using the HTML5, Roku, Apple TV, Samsung Smart TV and LG Smart TV clients without a subscription, but if they wish to do so on any other platform, they must have Emby Premiere or a one-time app unlock purchase available in some apps. Live TV and DVR functionality is only included for Premiere users. [10]
