Edrock200 38 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 So a bit of an odd request, but I was curious about Embys origins, how it started, was it forked from xbmc/Kodi/something else, etc. just for my own curiosity and much to my surprise there's little to no info on this. Even the Wikipedia article doesn't have an origin date and is only 2 to 3 paragraphs long. Does anyone have a link to Embys backstory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy 739 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) It came from MediaBrowser, a WMC plugin that was commonly called MB in the forums. When Win8 started dropping WMC it was morphed into MB 3.0, Later renamed Emby.. Edited April 4, 2021 by Sammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play 8392 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I believe it is close to this 2009 - Video Browser for MCE (the original Media Browser) 2010 - Media Browser 2015 - Emby https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/94285-before-emby/&do=findComment&comment=976037 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I know my last bout was around 2015.. I know I haven't had a system with WMC, by default.. have definitely been messing with streaming/cloud media since 2001/2.. In my own little server planet.. with my computers and being mobile..
