Emby Watch Party - Synchronized Viewing for Friends & Family

Was my error I forgot I was on a nonstandard port for Emby.

It connects just fine now thank you!

One more thing I noticed was that when you edit the docker template that was done this way it wipes all settings. When you edit a "normally installed" unraid docker container it will preserve the settings.  Not really a big complaint or anything I'm super happy once I get this behind my reverse proxy next, but just throwing it out there as an observation.

Deeply appreciate the help and crazy fast work.

Works over reverse proxy.  This is a masterpiece, the Emby devs need to pay you to integrate this or offer it as a plugin.  

GENIUS.  THANK YOU!

If you can set the TemplateURL manually I forgot that : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Oratorian/emby-watchparty/refs/heads/main/unraid/emby-watchparty.xml

Easier is to delete the repo and all templates and reinstall.

Ahhhh somehow I blew it all up trying to do that and deleted it and started over.  Somehow either IDK how to set the templateurl, or its not working.  I'm happy its working for now, no need to edit it, just not sure what happens when you push an update.  This is my first time adding a container to unraid using anything other than their app "store".

You have to delete the running container and recreate it from scratch, this way unRaid repulls the new xml tamplate

Thats what I tried to do but the link you gave me I'm not sure where to put that unfortunately.     I only see an option for the repo not an XML template URL.  It may need to be "published" or something to function like the others, but my lack of familiarity is no help here, sorry!

Due to Unraid's unconventional storage model and some frustrating limitations in its ecosystem, I've decided not to officially support it through their community repositories. I personally find TrueNAS to be a more straightforward experience, especially considering Unraid's price point. Support may still be possible, but it won't be a priority.

The absolute easiest way is to install

Docker Compose Manager by dcflachs

Grab my docker-compose file from GitHub which in fact does the same as the XML file.

Or download the XML-file manually and transfer it to: 

/boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user/

Which makes it available in the Docker Tab

Thanks for doing what you have, that works well for me we've been testing it and love it. 

Unraid is awesome at some things, not surprised its not awesome at others.   Truly appreciate it to have this available thank you!

Just a wild thought, not even sure how you'd begin to implement this, but would be very cool as a tvOS app for apple tv somehow.   

Would probably need to be sideloaded unless you wanted to publish it in the app store.  Might be a pipe dream and thats fair, but this is fantastic what you've created :)
