Emby client linux7/8/2023 The command uses zypper to install an RPM from a GitHub repository. Since I am installing on 64bit x86 architecture, and I am not interested in beta testing Emby, I chose the first option. Two are for the x86_64 architecture, the other four are ARM options. There are 6 options from which to choose. There is a nice little drop down where you can select “OpenSuse” very sadly cased incorrectly but that is a small detail, nothing terrible, I’ve made mistakes too in casing the project name. Instructions for openSUSE were right there, ready and waiting for me to utilize them. The installation was surprisingly easy to do with Emby on openSUSE. This is a review of only the free services, not the paid features. This is my review, with no real expectations, other than to easily have access to my movies and TV shows from any device in the house. At the very beginning of this exercise, I decided I want to try out three different server products, Plex, Emby and Jellyfin. I chose it largely because I heard of Plex and wanted to try something that was open source based, more on that later. My first stop in exploring media servers in Linux was Emby. I have known others that have done this and have always been impressed by it. I had heard about having something like Netflix or Hulu in the form of Plex. All I can say is that is not a technical requirement for things to work.One of the main reasons I build a computer was for the purposes of hosting my video content on my system and serve it to other machines. This is something you have to decide for yourself if you feel like you need. I can't really tell you what to do in this regard because I don't feel comfortable giving you legal advice and tell you what is and isn't "safe". If that content is copyrighted that potentially exposes you to some risk of legal repercussions. Otherwise it's not very hard for others to observe which IP-addresses are downloading a torrent - especially torrents from public trackers. Nothing is stopping you from doing that - but that is over-complicated, more prone to problems and entirely unnecessary in this use-case.Ī VPN of any kind is used primarily in this context to keep you more anonymous. I mean, you COULD set up 2 mounts to 2 drive-letters if you really wanted. Giving those paths to Emby (after mounting the drive) should work fine, assuming your drive is otherwise set up and working. a mounted drive can have as many subfolders as you want - just like any normal harddrive would. You don't need to mount 2 drives for 2 folders. Later on, when you have a basic working setup, you may want to check out this thread for more advanced configuration (for Plex, but most of it will probably be applicable to Emby too). If you have not, then do that before anything else (you will find a detailed setp-by-step guide in the first link provided). Of course, this assumes that you have already configured your Gdrive as a remote. Worry about optional flags later on when everything is working.Īll you really need to start is something like: That should be perfectly fine for streaming. In general though you can probably start off with using an all-default configutation. This page will tell you everything you need about config options for the Gdrive:Īnd this page will tell you everything you need about the mount command (as you will probably need a mounted drive for a media streaming app like Emby (I don't use that software myself, but I assume): There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to configuration, so some reading is probably going to be required.
