Question about sharing library

[bhajipav 1]

So given how terrible Plex has been for me recently, the main issue being stability, speed, and features of clients, I think I am switching to Emby. I have set up the server and it's working great for me so far, but I don't really understand how I can replicate what I've been doing with Plex, using Emby.
On my current Plex server, I have about a dozen users whom I share my library with using their Plex accounts. Since I have Plex Pass, I think the premium features are experienced by all the users. Emby users seems to work differently - and I want to replicate the Plex functionality. What's the easiest way to manage sharing your library with friends, etc? With Plex I just have them make a Plex account and send them an email invite to the server. With Emby, it seems that the Emby account and user accounts are separate (which is nice, due to lack of dependence on Emby for logins), but there's also a client limit connected to Emby premiere which would be more than surpassed by me and my users.
Any ideas for a solution to this? I don't want to have all the people I share the library with having to pay a recurring fee. Also, when (on what clients/devices) is the easy pin used instead of a password?
Thanks, loving Emby so far aside from this one thing.

Easy pin is lan only. You can define lan though I think. The limits are for premiere functionality only

What was the issue and solution?

I kind of have the same question. I set up my server and paid for premiere.

 

Now, I would like to share my library with my brother and a friend or two, how do I do that? And will them using my server grant them Premiere features, meaning some of MY devices will lose that premiere status?

 

Thanks

hi @@KarlDag, there's mulitple ways you can invites someone. For instance you can create a user on your server and then just send them the information. You can also use our Emby Connect invitation feature. You can learn more about that on our wiki:
