Server for Western Digital My Cloud Series

[DarrenHill 0]

A quick question - would there be any possibility for an Emby server plug-in for the Western Digital My Cloud series of NAS boxes?

 

I have a MyCloud Mirror (Gen 1) which currently supports my Kodi MySQL database (and the media itself) and am seeing some good things about Emby. So I was wondering if there was any possibility/plan for that NAS series, or would it need something of greater power?

 

If there is a better place to ask this question, please move the thread (new here so still finding my way around).

there is no waiting. for my cloud never. for qnas or other NAS storage devices with processors on-board.... limited use possible nothing worth waiting for. 1 or 2 users max?

It's a MyCloud Mirror - it is a NAS with storage and processing.

 

It'll happily run MySQL and Plex, but as the Kodi boards are full of people praising Emby it would be interesting to give it a fair try. There seem to be a few other people there with WD NAS's, although I appreciate that may not be enough to make it any kind of priority.

 

I would say maybe a server for the Pi2 could be another option, but as that doesn't exist either I guess I'm outtaluck (as I don't have a Windows machine on the wired part of my network to make using a server there worthwhile).

Please try it out and report your experience. Thanks !

Thanks for the heads up.

 

Unfortunately mine is a MyCloud Mirror, which isn’t on the list (and probably isn’t powerful enough for the task anyway).
