Thank you

Installed Emby in a CentOS VM.

Browsed to the IP and did the setup wizard.

Created a LOCAL user and logged in.

Made a port forward with source IP filtering for trusted networks. (mobile devices will use VPN)

It works. Without phoning home or a bunch of other BS.

 

Thank you. I'm not entirely sure why I waited this long to switch from Plex.

When I was looking for a Windows Media Center alternative 4 years ago I installed Plex.....it only took me one afternoon of tinkering before I was looking for an alternative....it's ugly and clunky as a default install....found emby that evening, installed it....and by the next day I had deleted Plex and never looked back.  In the interim I have tried others as a curiosity but there is nothing that compares to emby.  Even with the issues that emby has it is still the best thing I have found.  I run the beta as my default testing server and the support team here is TOP NOTCH and respond so quickly to issues they never last long enough to be a hinderance.  

Thanks for 4 years.....I've learned a lot and use emby every day and my special needs boy loves it and I finally have my wife interested after 4 years since she discovered how much content I have...LOL.
