With Emby, you can access your favorite movies, shows, music, and photos from nearly anywhere. Here’s a rundown of the devices that support Emby and how you can enjoy a seamless media experience on each.

1. Smart TVs

Emby has dedicated apps for several major smart TV brands, including Samsung, LG, and Android TVs. This means you can stream directly on your TV without needing extra hardware:

  • Download the Emby app from the TV's app store.
  • Log in to your Emby server, and you’ll have full access to your media library on the big screen!

2. Streaming Devices (Roku, Apple TV, Fire TV, Chromecast)

If you don’t have a smart TV, streaming devices are a great option for using Emby:

  • Roku: Available as a free app in the Roku Channel Store.
  • Apple TV: Download Emby from the App Store, and enjoy a smooth Apple TV interface.
  • Amazon Fire TV: The Emby app is in the Amazon Appstore, letting you easily access content.
  • Android TV: Download either the Android TV or regular Android apps from the Google Play Store to access your Emby server. 
  • Chromecast: Use the Emby mobile app to cast content directly to any Chromecast-enabled device.

3. Mobile Devices (iOS and Android)

Stay connected to your media library on the go with Emby’s iOS and Android apps:

  • Download the Emby app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
  • You can stream media, manage your library, and even download files for offline viewing.

4. Computers (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Emby can be accessed on desktop computers and laptops as well:

  • Simply open your preferred web browser and log in to your Emby server at http://yourserverip:8096.
  • Emby also offers desktop apps for Windows and macOS for a native experience.

5. Gaming Consoles (Xbox and PlayStation)

Gaming consoles like Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 4 offer access to Emby through a web browser as well as through their dedicated stores:

  • On Playstation, open the console’s browser, enter the server address, and log in to access your media.
  • For Xbox, visit the Xbox Store and download the Emby Theater app for a seamless Emby experience. 

Wrapping Up

With support for such a wide variety of devices, Emby provides flexibility to access your media wherever you are, at home or on the go. Whether it’s a smart TV, a mobile device, or even a gaming console, you’re just a few clicks away from streaming your media collection seamlessly. Happy viewing!

There is also the Kodi platform, there are two Kodi plugins that let you view your media using Kodi.
Kodi runs on everything from Raspberry Pis to your toaster.

I'm unsure why you are advertising the use of AndroidTV and FireTV, when it's clear they no longer have a future and support for them is limited - usually with you asking to install the Android version as a direct replacement ?
