xilex 9 Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 Hi all, besides running Emby Theater on a Windows PC, if I wanted to access my remote Emby server and have this unit connected to a TV, what are the best options? I can work with a Raspberry Pi (maybe running Android TV) if that works well, too. Thanks.
bluemonkey07 590 Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) Theater can be installed on the rpi Edited November 7, 2017 by Vidman
Deathsquirrel 745 Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 In my experience Theater and Android TV get the most traffic so are presumably getting the most developer attention. That said, I've never noticed them neglecting any particular platform.
mastrmind11 722 Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Don't go outside the supported platforms, ie ATV on a rPi, because hacks aren't supported and generally suck anyway. official ATV devices, Roku, etc all are quite mature at this point.
xilex 9 Posted November 10, 2017 Author Posted November 10, 2017 Thanks. I am going to pick up a Roku to run it. I did think of installing ATV on rPi but I guess that's not working to well?
im85288 1493 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Raspberry Pi + Kodi + Emby for Kodi addon == The best/most flexible option
Deathsquirrel 745 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Raspberry Pi + Kodi + Emby for Kodi addon == The best/most flexible option Assuming you like Kodi...
mastrmind11 722 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Assuming you like Kodi... And don't want Live TV
Deathsquirrel 745 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 All of the apps are best supported. You may be biased 1
xilex 9 Posted November 11, 2017 Author Posted November 11, 2017 I'm satisfied with the Roku so far. I can cast to it and it will play the live TV, movie, recording, etc, just fine. Worse case just browse with the iOS app when casting for better control.

I have been trying to get it going but i seem to constantly find versions that just dont work well.

Decent model costs just $50. rPi ($30), AC adapter ($5), sd card ($10-20), flirc ($13), remote ($10)
