ebike 13 Posted March 29, 2016 Share 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.

Luke 37067 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I would love to port Emby Theater to linux. It's just a matter of time and resources. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebike 13 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37067 Posted March 30, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebike 13 Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share 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 .....

ebike 13 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share 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 426 Posted April 7, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e123enitan 237 Posted September 12, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
