How to uninstall on Mac

[rodwed 0]

I just recently installed the latest version of Emby for the mac(3.1.5.0).  I am having some problems and would like to do a complete uninstall.  I can't seem to find the best way to do this.

Thanks for any help.

Hi @@rodwed, you can uninstall by going to the mac Applications menu. What issues are you having? thanks.

i guess my biggest problem is that when using my Roku app or my Android app with my fire tv, I can't connect to the server.

"mac Applications menu"? Do you mean the Applications folder in the Finder? Does that mean that just dragging it into the trash completely removes all files/settings, or are there other places one has to go to clean up afterwards?

Although I found that trying to go directly into the hidden "config" folder didnt work so I had to tell my mac to show hidden files and then I was able to find and delete the Emby config folder.

HI @@mikefitz, yes that is the process although it will probably leave folders behind after doing that.

Accidentally installed Emby server instead of creating an account for Emby Connect. Now I have the server on my mac and it's not responding. Not listed in applications menu and I can't figure out how to delete. It's sucking the CPU like 64% constantly. Anyone have any suggestions?

Is this an Apple silicone Mac? You wont have an Emby icon in your task bar if it is.

Just open Activity Monitor and search for Emby and quit the server.

Then just use this thread to uninstall it. I found it easier just try show hidden files to get to the config folder though.

CMD - SHIFT - PERIOD

We are working on adding this though.
