Unable to configure Emby

What do you think " Manage Emby Server " means ?

Did you read any documentation ?

I see the Menu on the left, but I do not see any accessible pages, I see play from another device, Settings, Manage Emby Server, on the right. How do I move forward?

What happens when you click on each of the labels you describe?

I will assume you are logging in with a admin user since you just installed.

You can click your user icon or the Gear to open the dashboard, then go to Library page via navbar on the left and configure your libraries.

Or we can have you edit or delete the system.xml to launch the startup wizards again.

This is the page that shows up after downloading the Emby Server, I am not able to proceed further.

Hi.  Have you clicked "Manage Emby Server"?

[EMBFTV 1]

Yes, but I haven't been able to access anything that lets me get to Emby activity.

[ebr 16176]

Hi.  Your very short answers are just not really helping us help you.  Can you please provide a detailed outline of exactly what you are doing and what is happening?  Screenshots would be great.

Thanks.

I go to the "Emby Server Download Website", I select Windows, then download the Emby Server. Setup appears in downloads, I select it, and Installing/Downloading/Extraction of Package of the Emby Server begins. After the Installation process concludes, I am forwarded to an Emby Page (Black) that shows: Home; Search; My Media (Metadata Manager) on the Left and Play on (Microsoft Edge Windows); My Computer (App Settings, Manage Emby Server); Settings (Dashboard: Emby Server is up to date, Connection Help, Activity from Months ago [Computer has been Authenticated] on the Right. I do not know where to go from this point. I hope that clarifies what I am going through.

Thanks for your assistance.

and still not a single screenshot in this entire thread ...

It's unclear what it is you are expecting to see that you are not. However, going off your description it sounds like you have access to the Dashboard, but the Home Screen is blank because you haven't set up any libraries?

If you click on 'Library' from the left side menu, and then follow this guide: Library Setup

Does that help you? Emby will only display what you tell it to, it does not populate anything on its own.

That is a great start to accessing what is needed to setup Emby, I was under the impression that there were presets in the Dashboard.

Thanks.

[pwhodges 2012]

It's all explained in the instructions linked earlier in this thread.  I p[resume you have not read them...

I actually read them, but I was misinterpreting the process. I was thinking there was something available to setup Emby for you. I appreciate everyone trying to steer me on the right path.

Thanks.

I am still unaware why I cannot connect to the Emby Server.

Are you just trolling? 

Otherwise, you'd need to pay more attention and actually read the links that multiple members - including two Devs, a Moderator, two Top Contributors and few prominent Community members (personally, can't remembet when was the last time I've seen such a gathering, for you to still be as confused as you appear or act to be) - have been sharing with you and directing you to, in addition to their posts. You should inform yourself what Emby is and what it isn't - and streaming service is one of those things that it ain't. 

Quote

Emby is NOT a media streaming service. We provide no content. Emby is a Personal Media Server platform. You must have your own server installed and your own media (or Live TV tuner).

Your are already connected to an Emby Server - your own. It is up to you now to populate it with media, publicly available Netflix-style Emby Server where you can connect and stream content does not exist. Alternatively, someone from your family or your circle of friends might be willing to share their server with you - but that is again something that you yourself need to take care of and something that no member of this community has anything to do with. 

Hope that clarifies any doubts you might still be having.

It does, excuse my Ignorance. I was not privy to the installation and procedures of Emby. I will revisit the "Thread", and try to get a better understanding.

Thanks Again.
