ebike 13 Posted March 29, 2016 Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Hi All, Would love to see a Linux client for x86 and ARM devices. The server side runs (&transcodes) nicely on my Odroid-XU3, I would like to use the same platform for my TV Client, but running the HTML5 client is backwards (compared with Plex Media Player which I currently run ..), although the client itself is better than Plex Client. If there was a Linux client that would run on both ARM & x86, I would switch from Plex to Emby in a uSecond. Edited March 29, 2016 by ebike 4
Luke 39836 Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 I would love to port Emby Theater to linux. It's just a matter of time and resources. 1
ebike 13 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Posted March 30, 2016 Thanks for the prompt reply .... Is the current windoze version written in .net? If so, Can it simply be run in mono then? I take it there is a lot more to it than that, or it would have been done already
Luke 39836 Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 even better, it's HTML with electron, so porting the UI is easy. I could have that done tonight. The problem is we need a video player. The one we did for windows is custom and not cross platform, so for linux, we need something else, like perhaps MPV. 1
ebike 13 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Great!, MPV would be awesome, it is the best player out there IMHO .... EDIT: Even better, I see that there is an electron build for ARMv7 with hard float and NEON support .... excellent ..... Edited March 30, 2016 by ebike 1
ebike 13 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Posted April 7, 2016 Hey guys ... even better, how about a FreeBSD version of Emby Theater ..... that would run awesome if my FreeNAS/Emby plugin experience is anything to go on .. (FreeNAS/Emby plugin combo transcodes a particular video to a set bitrate client at 10%CPU ... the same conditions on Linux was 35%CPU, and using many more threads, BSD just one) I was very surprised at how efficient BSD could be ..
denz 453 Posted April 7, 2016 Posted April 7, 2016 It would be awesome if it could be installed on pi 2 and pi 3 as they are more than capable of playing full hd. Kodi runs very well on them. 1
ebike 13 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Posted April 7, 2016 It would be awesome if it could be installed on pi 2 and pi 3 as they are more than capable of playing full hd. Kodi runs very well on them. Or on the Odroid-XU3/4 which is even more capable .. I have run Kodi and Plex on those ..
e123enitan 261 Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) I am hoping soon that ET will be ported on Linux, similar to Kodi/OpenElec or Kodi/LibreElec on low energy Android box, there are potential users (currently on Android) that are discontent with Kodi or others clients system who are looking for alternatives stable client which I think ET could fill the void, example is where I have personally observed inflow of users from others servers oriented media system whohave succeessfully migrated to Emby. Let me this happen Edited September 12, 2016 by e123enitan
Luke 39836 Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Hi, it's a great idea for the future. 1

Let me this happen yep, here is one of them right now :-) don't misunderstand me, I do not hate Kodi, just don't like it much as of lately. the skins are boring (well the once that actually work). many plugins are broken every time it is updated, in-fact I can not use the YuoTube plugin for the last 6 month(!!!) it says it is supported, it installs and configures, but error out all the time. and their forum policies are horrible. every little things can mark you as pirate and your post deleted, or at very best, moved to spam/not supported category.

Tur0k 144 Posted September 25, 2016 Posted September 25, 2016 +1!!! a compatible Linux client would really be nice!!! I am considering switching all my media streamers over to Debian or Ubuntu. 1
screwfaze 38 Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 I also would love this for Linux especially running on a raspberry pi would be awesome. +1
redaktorn 13 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 +1 For a Linux version (Debian / Ubuntu) 1
Luke 39836 Posted January 1, 2017 Posted January 1, 2017 Emby Theater for Linux and Raspberry Pi are currently in testing. You can learn more about them here: Linux: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/42868-emby-theater-for-linux/ Raspberry Pi: https://emby.media/community/index.php?/forum/169-raspberry-pi/ Enjoy. 2
