Emby

In addition to being a stand-alone media center, MrMC can also be an Emby client. This feature is built-in and requires no additional files or modules of any kind.

If you don't already have a Emby server set up, or would like to learn more about Emby, see https://emby.media.

How it works

When a user is logged into their Emby server from the MrMC settings, the Emby video library is used as if it were the normal MrMC video library. Movies and TV show tabs will show up on the home screen, and watch/resume history shared, just as any other Emby client would do.

Signing in

From the MrMC home screen, go into Settings -> Services -> Emby client

Emby Manual sign-in(local)

Manual sign-in will ask for your Emby username and password. These can be entered using the on-screen-keyboard. You can also enter text by using the iOS remote app, which might make entering long passwords easier. To log out, simply select this setting again.

Emby Pin request sign-in

Pin request allows you to log in from a web browser on your computer, phone, or tablet. A code will show up on the screen that you will need to enter on https://emby.media/pin.html. This code is only valid for a short while, so if you wait too long then you will need to select the pin request option in MrMC again for a new pin. Once entered correctly, the Emby settings will show that you are now logged in. To log out, simply select this setting again.
