JulesC 51 Posted March 9, 2025 Posted March 9, 2025 This hybrid model would give users the best of both worlds: the control and quality of personal libraries with the ease of modern streaming platforms. Examples would include: * Free Steaming TV (e.g. news, movies, sports, etc. * Integration with other Streaming Services (e.g. Netflix, Hulu, etc.) * Integration with Personal Music with other Music Services This would take Emby to the next level. 1
Luke 42077 Posted March 9, 2025 Posted March 9, 2025 Hi, how would you suggest integrating with Hulu and Netflix?
JulesC 51 Posted March 9, 2025 Author Posted March 9, 2025 @LukeGreetings, thanks for the response. I'm not an expert in this area, but was just thinking about ideas for the future versions of Emby, which I am a fan. Here's what I believe PLEX is doing . . . Plex’s Built-In "Discover" & "Universal Watchlist" Features Plex is already leading in hybrid streaming by offering: Discover Mode – Lets you search across multiple streaming services (Netflix, Prime, Disney+, HBO Max, etc.). Universal Watchlist – You can add movies/TV shows to a single Plex watchlist, and it will tell you where to watch it (including whether it's available on your personal library). Deep Linking (Limited) – Some platforms allow Plex to open the movie/show in the appropriate app, but not all. Bottom-line: I'm just thinking about a more integrated solution where I could possibly see a dashboard with all my media streaming options in one place vs. bouncing between all the options (e.g. Personal Movie Library, Subscribed Streaming Services, Movies Anywhere - my digital movies, etc.) Hope this makes sense and is helpful.
