[BETA] EmbyDJ – a little DJ mixer for your Emby music library

[SoliFlix 52]

Hi everyone,

just for fun I built a small side project with the help of AI: EmbyDJ, a plugin that turns the Emby web app into a two-deck DJ mixer for your own music library. It's purely a hobby thing – nothing serious, no big plans – but it turned out to be quite fun to play with, so I thought I'd share it. Feel free to try it out!

Spoiler

What it can do:
- Two decks with waveforms, automatic BPM detection, sync, beat loops and 6 hot cues
- Jog wheel with scratching, backspin and brake
- Mixer with 3-band EQ, filter, crossfader and one effect unit per deck (echo, ping-pong, reverb, flanger, phaser, distortion)
- Sampler with 4 banks of 9 pads – load sounds from your Emby library, local files, a sample folder or straight from a deck loop
- Library browser with search across title, artist and album and sortable columns
- Everything runs in the browser, the tracks come straight from your Emby server

Good to know:
- Administrators only (for this first release)
- Built for Emby 4.9 and newer, tested on 4.11
- Chrome or Edge recommended
- Scratching, backspin and the sample folder browser need Emby over https or on the server itself via localhost (a browser restriction). Over plain http with an IP address it still works, just without scratching.

Installation:
Download EmbyDJ.dll, copy it into the plugins folder of your Emby Server and restart Emby. You'll find EmbyDJ in the dashboard under Advanced → EmbyDJ.

Download / source:

This is a beta, so expect a few rough edges. If you give it a spin, I'd love to hear what you think – bug reports, ideas and feedback are very welcome.

Have fun mixing!

This sounds fun

I remember my mom, cursing at me for doing this with her vinal record player
