Hello! Newie member and emby user

Hi all,

 

Despite holding a Lifetime Plex Pass, I have decided to give emby a whirl.  I have heard great things about it, and with the Plex team's changing the privacy policy (uploading meta data) and basically telling the FreeBSD camp that their abandoning the OS, I decided the time has come.

 

So just installed the 'port' as 'we' like to call it, and wow I really like it. I'm stumbling through it a bit, but it looks to be the 'power user' media server I had hoped it to be.  Give me one good weekend, and maybe a couple rum and Pepsi's and I should be a pro right?  I did very easily add one images folder just to see how the presentation looked, and I got my HDHomeRun Extend device added too. I just gotta figure out the EPG for it, get the rest of my media pulled in and maybe try some lite customizations here n there.

 

Anyway, wanted to say hi and while I am not asking for any help (yet), feel free to set any expectations I should know about, especially those to the use of emby running on FreeBSD OS. And when I say FreeBSD I mean that, and not any of its forks/variations.  Running 10.3-RELEASE currently, and will soon go to 10.4 and then eventually go to 11.x-RELEASE.  And one last note, if I decide to keep using the emby software I'll likely start buying into some of the non-free options.

 

Here's to what I think will be a great 2018 year !

Welcome!

 

I came from Plex as well and I'm really enjoying Emby.

 

But leave it to one of those FreeBSD folks to put their Rum in Pepsi instead of Coke.
