Emby
Emby is a personal media server, which has clients for many platforms. It is used to organize personal home media, as well as play back on other devices. There are a large amount of channels that are supported by the community, and can even be used with PVR and Tuner cards to provide TV streaming remotely.
Installation
Install the emby-server package.
Usage
Enable and start emby-server.service
.
Access Emby through the browser by navigating to http://localhost:8096/
Emby runs under the user and user group emby
using systemd's DynamicUser feature. By default, Emby will have at most read permissions to your media files thanks to systemd's filesystem abstraction. To give it write permissions and enable media deletion or local metadata saving, you will have to extend the systemd service:
/etc/systemd/system/emby-server.service.d/write-permissions.conf
[Service] SupplementaryGroups=share ReadWritePaths=/mnt/share
This will add the emby
user to the share
group, and enable write permission to the /mnt/share
directory through systemd. Note that you still need to make sure the share
group has write permissions to the actual directory.
