Having trouble installing live+ Emby bundle on firestick

[Neminem 1518]

Did you install your own server on your own hardware ?

Emby does NOT supply media files, and is only software.

Emby is not just a app you install.

You also need a server Quick Start

And have media to show added to your server.

Emby IS NOT a streaming service.

My Emby does not work either. All I can get Emby to do is lay around in their shorts and drink beer and watch my media.  It is very disconcerting and distressing.

To get live TV in Emby on your Amazon Fire Stick, you need to set up the Emby app from the Amazon App Store and enable Live TV within Emby by configuring a compatible TV tuner and a TV guide data source, though it is important to understand that "Emby Bundle" isn't a real product and Emby does not provide the live TV content itself. 

 

 

Steps to set up Live TV with Emby on Fire Stick

1. Install the Emby App:

Download and install the Emby for Fire TV app from the App store on your Fire Stick. 

 

•  
• 2. Configure Live TV in Emby:

  In the Emby app or server interface, navigate to the Live TV section. 

   
•  
• You will need to configure Emby to use your connected TV tuner (e.g., a USB tuner with an antenna). 
   
•  
• Add a TV guide data source, such as the free guide data provided by Emby for US, UK, and Canadian regions. 
   
•  
• 3. Scan for Channels and Match Lineup:

  Scan for available channels from your TV tuner and match them to the guide data. 

   
•  
• 4. Set up DVR Settings (Optional):

  Configure DVR settings within Emby if you wish to record live TV. 

   

 

What to know

Emby Bundle is not a real product:

"Emby bundle" is not a specific product; rather, Emby is a media server software that can stream live TV when configured with the necessary hardware and data. 

 

•  
• Live TV content is not included:

  Emby itself does not provide live TV content or subscriptions. You must use your own TV tuner and guide data source to enable this feature. 

   
•  
• Emby Premiere may be required:

  Some features of Emby, including extensive Live TV functionality, require an active Emby Premiere subscription.
