Dreaming . . . Can Emby on an Unraid NAS server output the music audio from the server itself?

I have Emby running on my Unraid NAS and all my clients play the music fine from my connected devices (Emby app)  to a Marshall Bluetooth speaker. Windows, Android, etc.

But I was dreaming. I would love to be able to output the audio from my Unraid NAS instead of my Windows computer and cell phones/tablet. Rather the audio coming through my PC to the bluetooth speaker, instead coming out of the NAS server and Windows only the web interface.

The benefit would be when I need to listen to something  briefly on my PC or other device, I am not playing it over the audio coming out of my PC. I could play a brief Youtube video while the music continues to play through the NAS to my bluetooth speaker.

Is that even possible?

Hi, can you use the web app directly on the nas?

The more I thought of it, the problem is the browser will not play the audio bluetooth from the NAS server. It plays it through the PC through the bluetooth connection to the bluetooth speaker. I did find an odd duck work around. RDP to another Windows box, bring up Emby in that browser and play the bluetooth connection through that PC. Then my working PC is free to output audio to my PC speakers. 🙂
