Third-party client using Emby REST API — API usage & "Emby" branding in store listing

Hi,


I'm developing EmPlayer, a free Android media player on Google Play that can connect to Emby media servers using the public REST API (/Users/AuthenticateByName, /Users/{id}/Items, /Videos/{id}/stream, etc.).
I have a few quick questions:

  1. Is there any licensing requirement to use the public Emby REST API in a free app that contains ads?
  2. May I mention "Emby" in the Play Store description to indicate compatibility (e.g. "supports Emby servers")? I'm not using the Emby logo and not claiming any official affiliation.
  3. Is this disclaimer sufficient: "EmPlayer is an independent third-party app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially supported by Emby Media."?

The app does not redistribute any Emby code, binaries, or assets — it only communicates with user-hosted Emby servers over HTTP.


Thanks!

Hi. Yes, as you've laid it out there, that all sounds okay.

Thanks.
