New Emby mac server

[Alibabava]

Hi, 

I am new to Emby and don't know much about settings. i am trying to create my own server on Emby but seeing a problem 

downloaded the app for Mac and installed it 

added my movies libraries 

didn't touch any setting at all 

logged into to a browser to tried to watch a movie and it wss spinning forever and the movie never played 

tried it on my apple tv, i see the movies filders, thumbnails but when i play any file it spins for a while and throws an error about the content

i have also tried it with my smart but the same issues everywhere. 

i don't know what i am missing and what needs to be done to fix this issue, is there anyone who can help me out with this? 

Thanks

One thing pointed out recently that I wouldn’t have thought would cause issues- You have to move the Emby app to your Applications folder.

That's correct. Did you follow the install instructions on our website?

Thank you so much it works now

Why didn't you do that initially when installing?
