Help to decide where to install Emby

[lrhlpz 4]

Hi! I have a Windows Server 2012 machine with the Hyper-V role activated, with 2 VMs (Windows 8.1 and a Windows 10 TP machine) and I want to install Emby.

 

My options:

 

- Installation of Emby on the server (not virtualized).

- Installation of Emby on a Virtual Machine.

 

Pros and cons?

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

I'm running 2012R2 with Hyper-V with a 6 core processor and 64GB RAM.

Using a virtual Ubuntu server with just emby is working ok for me. I can snapshot every time I do an upgrade.

Running for a week without problems, then I just delete the snapshot Again

 

Since TVHeadend plugin is under its way I will probrally drop NPVR running on my host with a HDHomerun Networktuner.

TVHeadend server is running in its own Virtual Ubuntu.

 

No cons from my side.

 

Regards.

But I only have a 4 core processor (a Core i5 3300) and 12GB of ram (only 2 VMs, 4GB of ram each one).
