How do I install the emby server on a Shield?


Recommended Posts

Hi

I am attempting to install the Emby Server on my Nvidia Shield. I am able to install the Emby App but not sure where to find the server to install. On my mac I can find it in my browser at emby.embyserver_4.2.1.0apk but how do I access this on my Shield. Going to the Google app store only gives me the Emby app. I know this is easy but apparently not for me. Thanks

I figured out that you need a side loader app to install the server. My next question is: While I am able to set up the server on my Nvidia I cannot seem to log in with the same user name as I use on my MAC enabled Emby server. On the MAC, I am a premiere member, I assumed I would also be a premiere member with the Nvidia server. Unable to log in with anything but a new name on the Nvidia side and this is not recognized as a premiere member. Also, in order to get the Nvidia server working I had to pay 4.99 to unlock Emby (I don't really understand the pricing for Emby in general)  Do I need to pay twice to use EMBY on the MAC and on Nvidia? Thanks

You can use your Premiere key in both servers.

@@Bill Mini, they are two different servers, each with their own sets of users. You do understand your Emby server is what manages your users, right?
