Please consider adding Integration for multi cloud storage providers. Why i think this could be very valuable.for many reasons: Now we can buy Lifetime cloud storage space. Pcloud is the best known, but there are other cloud providers which we can buy lifetime storage also (Icedrive, Koofr, Files.fm.........) With our internet devices becoming more and more powerful, and internet speed constantly increasing, i think streaming our files will become more convenient over time with fewer lags and increasingly speed. The security of cloud storage is now more efficient on some providers. Comparing with our local drive our files are stored in multiple servers preventing them from outage or being deleted. Why i think Cloud storage combined with emby could be valuable? We already have Emby server for Android but Android storage source is limited if i compare with some cloud providers. We could increase our storages without compromising space on our phones! plus as our phones are constantly connected to internet we will do not need for a NAS , no wires, nothing that is dependent on from our internet provider at home! In that case we will need one smartphone, one cloud storage, One emby server app to access our movies and music anywhere at home without NAS: No need also for a computer to be always on for accessing our files. Almost anyone as a smartphone already. Cloud storages are good for streaming but not as good as emby for sorting our movies and music and showing them on conveniently on TV. Please let us know if this could be considered or not. Thank you.

Hey, I am using Emby for a while now and I am wondering if there is a way to let emby access my video Files which are stored on Google Drive and Google Suite? It should access the files and stream them to my TV. Is this possible or do I need an Addon for that? Regards

Hello, I have an Emby server at home. Streaming is perfect on the local network. I would also like to watch it when I leave home, but I have a very, very low (2mbps) upload, that is, the transmission has locks, bad image, etc. Would there be any way for me to work with the cloud server? Like the old Plex Cloud. Example: The server would still be in my house, but the movies would be sent to some cloud, or some server. so you could watch without locks, and with good quality. Is that possible, or something? Thanks in advance!!

Hello, I would like some clarification please. I currently have three tv and two movie libraries setup. I have a local and cloud library for tv and movies, and I set up a third tv library which merges the local and cloud tv libraries, which I only access at the moment for testing. The idea was to, while I am in the process of moving media across to the cloud have one library which merges the two together... for some reason though, it doesn't seem to work that way. It is showing duplicate series... one from local and one from cloud, instead of merging the two.

Tout d'abord bravo pour la communauté francophone d'Emby et pour Luc qui est su présent. Je suis nouveau avec Emby et Synology. J'ai fait un mini test d'EMBY et je suis antousiasmé par les résultats. J'ai transmis un fichier video MKV à mon chromecast à partir d'un fichier video avec son Eac3 et en prime les sous-titres ont suivis. Voici la démarche de ce qui ne fonctionne pas bien: * J'ai installé "Emby pour android" sur mon cellulaire * J'ai bloqué spécifiquement l'application Emby pour qu'il n'utilise pas les données Internet mobile * J'ai activé les journeaux sur Synology pour obtenir la trace de ce qui accède les fichiers * J'ai bloqué la connexion WIFI et j'ai fait un test de EMBY client. Voici les résultats: * Même s'il n'a pas de droit d'accès aux données mobile Emby client continue de fournir l'accès aux films. J'ai vérifié et localement il ne semble y avoir aucun film de stoké sur le mobile. De plus, la consommation Internet mobile associé à l'application augmente et ce, même si l' accès est bloqués à Internet mobile. * Lorsque je suis en Wifi ou avec les données Internet mobile débloquées je vois soit mon ip local ou soit mon ip du mobile dans les journeaux de Synology. * Lorsque le Wifi et les données Internet mobile sont bloqués aucun accès n'est enregistré dans les journeaux du Synology. Questions: * Emby utilise t-il un cloud pour obtenir une copie des films? Si oui, comment le désactiver ? Sinon, comment les obtient-ils sans accéder au Synology (rien dans les journaux de Synology quand tout accès Internet est bloqué sur le mobile) ? * Comment bloquer totalement l'accès aux données Internet mobile pour Emby client. * Comment Emby respecte-t-il la vie privée de ses utilisateurs ? Où se retrouvent les données ? Informations complémentaires: Mobile : Samsung S8 avec systême d'exploitation à jour Emby android mobile : Obtenu par Google Play hier Synology : DS218+ avec système d'exploitation DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 4 Paquet Emby serveur : https://synology.emby.media/ (obtenu hier) FFMPeg : aucun. Et cela fonctionne quand même. Merci de vos réponses

I transmitted a MKV video file to my chromecast from a video file with his Eac3 and as a bonus the subtitles followed. Here is the approach of what does not work well: * I installed "Emby for android" on my cell * I specifically blocked the Emby application so that it does not use mobile Internet data * I enabled the logs on Synology to get a record of what accesses the files * I blocked the WIFI connection and did a client EMBY test. Here are the results: * Even though he does not have access rights to mobile data Emby client continues to provide access to movies. I checked and locally there seems to be no stock movie on the mobil. In addition, the mobile Internet consumption associated with the application Emby increases and this same access blocked mobile Internet. * When I am on Wifi or with unlocked mobile internet data I see either my local ip or my mobile ip in the Synology logs. * When Wi-Fi and mobile Internet data are blocked, no access is recorded in Synology's logs. Questions: * Does Emby use a cloud to get a copy of the movies? If so, how to disable it? If not, how do they get them without accessing Synology (nothing in Synology's logs when all Internet access is blocked on Synology)? * How to completely block access to mobile Internet data for Emby client. * How does Emby respect the privacy of its users? Where are the data? Further information: Mobile: Samsung S8 with up-to-date operating system Emby android mobile: Obtained by Google Play yesterday Synology: DS218 + with DSM 6.2.1-23824 Update 4 operating system Emby server package: https://synology.emby.media/ (obtained yesterday) FFMPeg: none. And it works anyway. Thank you for your answers

Hello, I'm coming from Plex due to their abrupt decision to end support for Cloud Servers. I have about 4TB hosted on Google Drive, and as of 11/30 will not be able to access it. Someone mentioned "Emby" as a Plex alternative, so I've been scoping it out. Hearing that Cloud Servers was an Emby "Premiere" feature and you don't offer a trial for a few hours or days, I paid $5 for the month and installed Emby to see how it's playback from Google Drive compared to Plex's. I've been tooling around with Emby for the last 2+ hours, frustrated with not being able to access my Cloud content after setting it up in Emby. After going through pages on these forums, it appears that I & most of the other people on here having difficulties with Google Drive have either been told incorrect information regarding Emby's Cloud capabilities, or simply mistook what Emby's Cloud capability actually is. So to confirm for myself and for others questioning Google Drive w/ Emby....Users can only (one-way) sync our Emby server content TO Google Drive, but cannot pull the existing media FROM it, correct?

Hello I just started to use this service, im a plex user that is closing cloud sync feature, i saw that emby also has the same service but there is some things what i dont really understand In Plex im able to sync google drive and see all my movies there, i purchased emby premiere but i saw that i need to install a server in my pc to access to the administration, i did that and then installed google drive plugin and i set it up But how i can add a library to browse my movies? i dont see such option And it's totally necessary have a pshycal pc to handle the cloud content? Because my internet provider doesnt allow the outside connections Thanks

Hello good afternoon, Is it possible to create separate menus so that files uploaded to Google Drive are REPRODUCED before the local file that is in the emby? How could I do that? The preference is to play the media in Google Drive, not the local server. Thank you Long live Emby

Your current storage plan of 1 TB for $9.99/month will be upgraded to 2 TB at no extra cost. Your storage is still shared across Drive, Gmail, and Photos.* With Google One, get direct access to experts for help with Google products and services, invite up to 5 family members to share your storage plan, and enjoy a few extras. You don’t need to do anything. In the coming weeks, we’ll send you an email to confirm your upgrade is complete, with more details on what you can do with Google One. At that point, you’ll be billed for Google One instead of Google Drive

I just released a completely reworked channel plugin for SoundCloud! If you are interested in testing: Download the plugin dll from here: https://github.com/softworkz/Emby.Channels/releases/tag/Beta1 Update: The new plugin version is now available via the catalog! Restart Emby In Server Adminisration, go to the Plugins page, find the SoundCloud plugin and open the settings Enter you credentials for SoundCloud (without credentials you will see some general content in the channel, but for the real experience you need to provide your login data for SoundCloud). Go to the Emby home page, choose "Channels" and start exploring your SoundCloud content The plugin should work with any of these latest versions of Emby Stable: 3.0.5984 Beta: 3.1.54-beta Dev: 3.1.6027.30179-dev Please post your feedback here!

I've tried to manually install Emby server on Azure VM. It was easy and it worked. However VM is not persistent and so deployment solution (unattended setup and configuration) would be needed. Has anyone done something like this? Thank you, Rus

Hello The emby works correctly with Amazon Cloud and Google Drive? Someone who is using these resources can tell you if it works? Thanks again

Any companies offer hosted Emby? I've tried searching, but not able to find any.

Amazon just released an unlimited cloud storage option for $59.99. Right now it is the most attractive storage option and syncing a large multi-terabyte library should be possible. Google Drive currently limits users to 1TB/user. Google drive plugin currently works fine, but Amazon would be a great addition! http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2028891

For me, SoundCloud is one of my favorite sources for music content. I love digging through its content and following connections between SoundCloud users. Having this content available within Emby would allow accessing it even from situations where you got nothing more than a remote control at hand. The existing SoundCloud channel plugin apppeared to be of rather low value to me. Personal information (with login) was limited to playlists and the implementation was subject to quite a few bugs and issues and hasn't been updated to accomodate the API changes at SoundCloud. At this point I decided to update and extend the existing code a bit --- and ended up with an almost complete re-write. In the following posts I'll describe what's new...

How can I tell if sync is streaming from the cloud instead of the server? I've been playing around with the sync option and have sync'd several videos to the Google cloud drive. When I play them remotely I cant tell from the dashboard which source its streaming from. Whats the best way to see if this feature is working?

I'm interested in the new Cloud sync plugin just announced. The developer asks for feedback, but no link is given to provide it, and the announcement thread is closed to comments. Is there already a thread for this topic? My first question about this plugin would be regarding copyrights. I thought if a user uploads a movie, TV show, or album, each of the cloud providers would either remove it, or demand proof of purchase. This could become a hassle if one makes frequent use of this plugin. Am I incorrect? Otherwise, this could be the solution for those of us who use a VPN service. I have yet to find any solution for streaming when I'm outside my home network (no, Emby connect or whatever it's called does not work from behind a VPN).

Hi All @ Emby, Was wondering if somebody could help. I have got my Emby instance up and running and so far everything is working great (Brilliant work BTW) I set up three user accounts and they were working fine. I had set two of the accounts so that playback was allowed but i did not allow playback that requires transcoding. This was working great and every time either two of the users played media from my library it streamed from the cloud. I suppose its worth mentioning that all my content is synced to the cloud with profile Baseline - Low Quality. and all content was playing fine. Everything has been playing fine but some time over the last few Emby updates it has stopped working. :? now whenever either user logs in and selects an item to play it comes up with a message 'No compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details.' Any idea why i am now having this error? FYI Sync and convert seem to still be working fine.

I'm confused. Trying to use the new Cloud Sync to Google Drive. I just became a supporting user, have the google drive sync tool installed, and don't see a sync option by any of my media on my server. Any thoughts?

According to my insurance advisor, I should have a back up option for the information that is stored by my staff on the computers on a daily basis. It seems that the data about the clients projects should be stored and backed up at one place where surety of retrieval is high. My insurance advisor has recommended Ahsay backup software as one of the best solutions since there are varied options and discounts. Can anyone tell me about other inexpensive options for cloud back up in the region? I really don’t want to spend that much and my need is of 10 TB only as of now.
