ItangoII 0 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Been running plex on personal Windows workstation and two Freenas servers with everything on the same net. Decided to check out Emby and am happy with the switch. Good job! I however have not been able to find an answer to my current dilemma. If I use my smart tv it allows for choosing between servers, but running from a web browser using their respective IP neither shows the other server which requires having two browsers open and logging into them respectively. Am I missing something? Is there a Windows client? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8422 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 The web client is just a direct connection to specific server (no knowledge of other server). Sure you can use the online app. app.emby.media 12 minutes ago, ItangoII said: Is there a Windows client?

From a free standpoint the browser is your only option so you would use app.emby.media for the select server option. There is a third party app in the app store called Ember for Emby also.

ItangoII 0 Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Thanks again. Ember (while I don't mind $5) requires a Microsoft account which I don't have so it looks like I'll just have to live with 2-3 logins/ browsers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
