vl1969 0 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Hello, I have been eyeing emby server for some time but did not have time to really get into it much. however, I just got my hands on zotac zbox nano vd01 with 8Gb ram and want to build a new HTPC on it. so here is my needs and wants. 1. the base OS should be Linux, I have nothing against windows but not sure if I want to shell out $150 for it, especially since win7 will be off support soon, and win10 have too much issues being HTPC for me. 2. I want to have a desktop use if needed. most time an TV interface will be used, but if I need to I want to be able to get to a real desktop.. 3. that said, if a TV UI is used I need/want to have a web browsing capability. my current htpc is running Kodi 16.0 but I ma having some issues with it and not sure if I want to keep it. can emby replace my Kodi setup? I do have an OMV based File server and VM server. my media is on that. can I run emby as client on the htpc as described? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
