Thanks for your reply, I'm a returning Emby client so I have the app still but it's asking for server details and I don't understand

Hi. Please contact whomever gave you access to their server.

Sorry I don't understand, I need to use someone's server ?

 

How do I do that ?

Did you install your own server, with your own media, on your own hardware ?

Your options are 
(1) install a server.  

Quick Start 

(2) ask a friend who runs a server to let you use theirs.

(3) access an illegal server (no further instructions here).

If someone else's have a talk with them.

Emby does not host your server and do not supply media files.

Thanks very much for your help...

Has something changed as I had emby several years ago and I had nothing like this to do. 

If I'm honest I don't understand a lot of what you are telling me

Way more diplomatic than I could've been.  I sense that you sense my patience is running a bit thin.   So I checked the main EMBY website and it is very heavy, extremely heavy on using the word "YOUR MEDIA" so I dug a bit deeper to investigate why folks are having a tough time understanding.  The only conclusion I can draw is on the about page, this one word "OR" could be doing alot of heavy lifting but who knows.

Nothing has changed.

30,000 foot view instructions:

You can buy a server on Amazon.  Get a good one.  Get Plenty of Space.  Turn it on your network, install the Emby Server application on it.  Rip your existing content from DVD's, BluRay's or VHS and add those to your Emby Server Library, then connect the app that you installed on your phone / tv / media box to your Emby Server.

Easy.  Well, in a nutshell that is.

@MD2020You need to install your own server on your own hardware, and add your own media.

Emby Is NOT a streaming service....

@js28194Its a canned message I use in these cases.

I see them too often
