maegibbons 1267 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Thats going to really upset the developers because of all the revenue that they will loose. No! No! PLEASE dont stop using emby.

tdiguy 96 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I have never used a chromecast, but from what i understand they function very differently than a fire stick. Also its not true that emby is free for everything else. I think more accurate would be emby is free on cromecast. Even at that though when you cast to a device you dont really use a app on the device right? you simply cast to it. When you use a fire stick you have to have the app on the fire stick itself. This is simply assuming the chromecast works similar to when i cast my smart phone to the smart tv at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigpal 0 Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I'm a new Emby user, switched over from Plex. So far I think Emby is a far better server and application, blows away Plex and has none of the annoyances that Plex has. I tried on Fire TV, and just to confirm, I need to buy Premiere to use it on Fire TV right? I think it was nice that it had a 2 week trial... I will probably be purchasing lifetime anyways, but wanted to make sure. I will also be using on Apple TV. $119 is a no brainer for a media server that works. Got tired of Plex messing with my meta data and/or not displaying it correctly. Also was complaining about server speed constantly... Love the Emby home screen and playback. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also have the option of just purchasing the app unlock but, if you are going to use multiple devices and apps and/or want the other Premiere only features (like Live TV and DVR) then Premiere is the better way to go.
