Using Emby

How to Configure Emby (Manual)

Preface

There are 2 methods to configure Emby: Manually with a Local Account or Automatically with an Emby Connect Account (see: Emby: What’s the difference between a Local account and an Emby Connect account?). This guide outlines the Manual method.

Process to Configure Emby

Before we start, be sure to download the Emby app, if you haven’t already (see: Getting Emby). In this guide, we will be configuring the Emby Theater app for Xbox One, but the setup is generally the same for all platforms.

Click on “Connect”. If you get a connection error, check that the server is typed exact (including the https://), check the server status page, or reach out on the Discord channel for assistance.
