I have another post out about this, and waiting for a response ... in the meantime, by any chance are the folders in question on a networked drive, or a local drive? I suspect that networked drives cannot be monitored in real time, for some reason ... although it works on Plex. I've never been able to get realtime monitoring working in Emby. All my media drives are NAS, none of them are local drives.

In my case they are all direct attached drives

Trying to set up for the first time, every time I try to set up, I open  the app, it flashes in the dock then disappears.  I have no idea what's going on with it for me to even set up.  When I try to delete the application, it says its open.  Please help!

Hi, did you open your web browser to run the setup wizard?

No I did not, are there instructions for first time setup? I didn’t see anything anywhere

Hi, yes, from our macOS download page:

 

https://emby.media/mac-server.html

 

Complete the Emby Server Setup Wizard
Open your web browser and visit http://localhost:8096

 

Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

Hello guys, question: Is there a pre-requisite for the MacOS version? Like minimum is El Capitan? I have an old Mac Mini and the only last OS I can install is El Capitan, so if you explained me that El Capitan won't be supported in 6 months, I should not install my Emby Server on it...

 

Thx in advance for your answer!

[Luke 42077]

It requires 10.12.

Oh shit so I can’t...

Emby Server 3.5 is up on the website for download. The announcement on the blog is soon to follow. Thanks everyone.

Hi, I have 2 things I'd like to mention and ask.

1) thank you for making loading an IPTV link so easy. I was trying to find a way to watch on Fire Stick, and then I wondered whether Emby supports IPTV and discovering that it did made my day. Thank you. What my question about this is, is can I close the server running on my mac and just load the app on Fire Stick? Or do I need to keep my mac server running now that i've set it up?

2) For playing media outside my home network, does Emby still require that I set up an IP or something? Or has that thing changed since since the last time I checked this forum?  over a year ago.

HI, yes you need to have your emby server running as everything will run through that. So yes that means it needs to be accessible remotely for remote access.
