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 Android TV , LG Smart TV and Samsung Smart TV , and video game consoles including the PlayStation 3 , PlayStation 4 , PlayStation 5 , Xbox 360 , Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S .

Emby Premiere [ edit ]

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 OS, Apple TV, iOS, macOS, 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]
