Emby

Emby streams personal videos, music, and photos from a separate Emby Media Server.

Our take

Consider it if you already manage a home media server and want a client for browsing or playing the collection.

The server supplies organization, metadata, user access settings, and conversion as needed.

Keep in mind: You must install or have access to an Emby server. Browsing and casting are listed separately from paid in-app playback.

What you can do

  • Browse artwork and media metadata
  • Cast a selection to another device
  • Use server-managed accounts and parental controls

Good for

  • Households with an Emby server and their own media

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone seeking a standalone streaming catalogue

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 15.0.
  • You must install or have access to an Emby server. Browsing and casting are listed separately from paid in-app playback.

Privacy & permissions

Your server manages the media and who can access it. Review permissions before sharing a library remotely.
