I know its an old chestnut, but really don't see any harm in a weeks trial for this stuff, think it's much more likely to lure people in.

And can Plex be used for free? I think not. Some people just want free stuff all the time. The developers here work very hard and support this product way more than most software products.

The OPs issue is more that they have no option to try before you buy, i dont think that is an unreasonable wish

Nor is shelling out $4.99 for a months trial unreasonable.

Seems reasonable for a month. Maybe a little less so If you decide against after maybe half a week of use.

 

BTW, what is Krs ?

Maybe but it requires some investment of time , money and trust before even knowing if the product will suit your needs. I know i would have done the same as the OP if this was the situation when i first discovered Emby....or mediabrowser3 as it was then.

Well he actually didn't indicate if his issue was lack of trial or the fact that it needs an unlock at all.

I see both sides of this coin...  I know it's come up a few times.

 

But let's look at it from a different angle for a moment.

 

12 minutes to download and setup a robust media server.  That's impressive.

 

Surely that carries with it some value.

 

I get that it didn't work out on XB1 right away, but there are other free ways to test Emby before you decide if you want to get a premiere license.

Maybe do what the "other" guys do?  Just give one minute of play without Premiere.  You'd at least get some idea that it actually does work without paying anything first.

 

But, yeah, if you don't want to invest a few dollars along with the necessary time to thoroughly wring it out then maybe you're just too impatient.

I think that's what the devs are thinking, but I don't think that new people who are looking at multiple products at the same time often stop to think that way. I know when I am looking for a solution it's my nature if I hit a barrier to entry like this I move on because I don't want hassle and if I hit something like this early it triggers in my head that there is probably more trouble beyond this point. I think something like limiting playback to a min per title would be a great way to do it myself. That way I can test full functionality to see if it meets my needs or not. Just hate to see people turn away from such a great product for something like this. :(

A lot of people feel very entitled and just want things for free...Emby Premiere is $4.99 for a month. That's less than a coffee/beer and should allow plenty of time for testing functionality.

We actually already do this with the mobile apps and the TV apps give you a free trial of two weeks.

 

We are looking at getting a little more consistent on how we handle the trial situation though.

Maybe this is not the place to ask this but here goes.

5 days ago after watching a you tube video on Emby Premiere by (touchtone) I quickly subscribed. Normally he would show how to install but now I see why he couldn't.

Ok I paided the $4.99 and downloaded Emby. I have a NEXSMART D32 android box. I haven't seen the area to put the key nor do I understand which server to choose. I have read what other people are talking about but it hasn't helped me. Also it really don't help to give a phone number to be told THIS PHONE IS NOT MONITOR. I really want this.

Please help.

Hi.  To what, exactly, did you subscribe?

 

Emby is a personal media server so, before using an app, you would need to install the server (see post above) and point it to your content.

Just reckon you should be able to test with the app of your choice, preferably for free for a week or two. The more you get to play and see it works and invest more time setting up libraries and fiddling the more likely you are to say oh bugger it where's the Pay button.

Embry Premiere. I have an account. I used to have Kodi, but deleted it. Will it help to reinstall Kodi to download a server.

I saw the message about using windows but through NSSM. Do I use ES file explorer or the downloader for NSSM?

Actually you can. Regular playback is perfectly possible without paying a dime, independent of the client. You only pay for premium features. But still I guess that not all apps are free, but most of them are.

You need to download and install an Emby server module.  You can see a list of available servers at https://emby.media/download.html

People in Emby team are working very hard, and (even if sometimes they miss some help requests), they answer every time to our messages and complaints. Emby could intimidate with all options it offers, but it’s really above Plex, i tried both. @Luke: indeed a free Premiere pass for 7 days to let people check the software is a good idea and definitely will increase users retention.
