After viewing the other thread for setting Emby server via IIS with auto renewed SSL Cert, I've decided to share my personal approach (no IIS) for non-advanced users: I kept the default Windows Installation of Emby. I setup a local scheduled job to back up the configuration files for Emby Server, so if I need to reinstall Emby one day, all configuration files are available from separate machine. I chose not to use IIS as I don't want to have the hard dependency between Emby Server with the Windows machine. I run the Emby server as it is, so the port 8096 and 8920 remain the same as its default setting. I do use the Port Forwarding feature on my router to expose the Emby server port 8920 (HTTPS) and/or 8096 (HTTP) to public. To be a bit more secured, you may choose to expose only the HTTPS port 8920 to public. You might want to ensure the firewall does not block these ports. I registered a free account on noip.com, as it offers me free DDNS hostname + a free SSL Certificate. I applied this free SSL Cert, downloaded the certificate file to the windows machine, and configured directly on my Emby server configuration page to use the corresponding SSL cert file with password. From the public to access my home Emby Server, the url will just be my free DDNS url + the port I chose to expose. It is a valid public URL with valid SSL Certificate. With such configuration pattern, the only risk is within the Windows Machine. If it is for any reason broken, all I have to do is: Install Emby Server for Windows, restore the configuration files from backup, copy SSL cert to the Emby server hosting machine Configure Router port forwarding from the Windows Machine IP, make sure the Windows machine firewall does not block the ports you want to expose Pros vs Cons: It has less dependency on the Windows Machine itself, and swapping to a new Windows machine would be easy as well. No configuration required for IIS and its required components. Emby comes with its web layer hosting, so for personal users it is a bit of overkill to setup another IIS layer. noip.com offers free tier users the DDNS service with a free SSL Certificate, so why not take the advantage of that. Of course, we might not get the "SSL auto renewal" part, but for an Emby home user/personal user, how much value we are saving by setting up the SSL auto renewal? You need to have certain knowledge of how to apply for the SSL cert on noip.com website. https://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/configure-trustcor-standard-dv-ssl/

Oi, I would like a CSS code to remove the camera upload feature from the android emby app. It is possible ? I use this code to remove it from the web application. Thank you / * Ocultar upload da câmera * / [ data - collectiontype = "boxsets" ], [ data - id = "165db2549e77c71dacef0e83a95cc5de" ] { display : none ! importante } If it is not possible to remove it from the app, is it possible to identify the user who uploads the camera? I find this feature useless and I don't understand what the purpose of EmbyServer is to have it.
