Emby and Coreelec

[daniel.bmyer 11]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but I'm hoping it is. I recently puchased a Ugoos AM6b+ and installed Coreelec.  I'm new to all this and would like to install Emby on it to connect to my Emby Server. However, I'm a little lost on this and was hoping someone might be able to provide some instructions or a link to instructions on how to do this.

Well, there a 2 plugins available, emby for kodi next gen and Embycon.

You can sideload them to Kodi (install via zip) and that's basically it. Don't run both plugins simultaneous.

You can also load them via repository, but I think as you have a blank Kodi, it's easier to sideload them.

Man, I'm so lost.  I don't know anything about Kodi and how to install via repository or sideloading.  I've been doing some reading but there's a lot to learn about all this stuff. I bought the Ugoos to replace my Nvidia Shield Pro.  It's getting quite confusing.  I really just want something that emulates how Emby looks on my Nvidia Shield and handles my libraries properly.  I have an unraid server that runs the Emby Server part. So whatever I install needs to be able to connect to it.

Do Embycon and Emby next gen have their own databases or do they read the server database? Is one preferred over the other for better integration?

I've been searching for a guide that walks you through how to install, but there's so much confusing material out there. Is there anything you can point me to that walks through the steps of installing?

Ok, so I've been doing some more reading. It looks like Emby Next Gen is what I want. I see there's a thread for that. I'll post my questions there.
