  • I need some info for my future server - Nas

    Zitat von geaves

    No, but there are 2 ways to look at this, iPads and iPhones use VLC this locates the Emby server running in Docker, but VLC can also use the SMB shares. I have one smart TV this has it's own Media Browser/Player this will only connect to the SMB shares on the server, we also have a Playstation this locates the running Emby server but like VLC it only 'lists' the movies with a relevant poster image.
    Ok, this is gonna be good :) you can sideload Kodi onto a Roku, for Samsung and LG if you're referring to TV's you can do the same on a Fire stick :)


    Your only other option is to pay for Emby Premier this will give access to Emby's apps for the above, but for TV's your need to set up a profile, which I think is an xml file.


    Yes, but don't forget you actually don't need Emby (just makes things easier to manage) you can just use your SMB shares.
    I also scrape my movies with MCM prior to adding them to the shares on OMV, TV Shows as well, that way I tell Emby to use the .nfo created file.

    Excellente tip with Kodi, thank you very much for that :D


    -------------------------------------


    I have Emby Premier for life, and I'm in the beta program, so that's no problem :)
    Plex also has it that way, but lately Plex has become quite "tied and heavy". I used Plex before Emby, I installed it twice in 6 months and every time it is more feels more "tied" so I did not use it again
    My movies are already scrapped with the arts and the .nfo inside each folder (one folder x movie) that's a good thing, for Emby, Plex or Kodi if you need to recreate an instalation :)


    Thank you very much for your help, going to start installing OMV without the Nvidia card on the i7 6700k PC/Server.


    Really appreciated.


    Have a nice day!

  • I need some info for my future server - Nas

    Zitat von geaves

    I run Emby on my OMV server an N54L, a Raspberry Pi runs Kodi with an Emby plugin which syncs to the server, that way I don't have to configure Kodi to use the SMB shares.

    Okay., I see, then any other device has no problem to play at home?
    I mean, in my actual Linux Computer (where is gonna be the OMV NAS) I use SMB for shared resources and only my Nvidia Shield can use Kodi as a client and it works well in my SMB from my current Linux. However there is no Kodi client for Roku, Samsung or LG then i need to use the Emby Client APP on those another devices.


    I assume then that for your other devices you use the Emby Server that is in your OMV?



    I understood well?



    Sorry, but sometimes I'm a bit slow to understand.



    I appreciate your response very much.

  • I need some info for my future server - Nas

    Hi. I have a quick question.


    Would not it be better to mount the Emby server on another PC and create the libraries from the OMV SMB/CIFS share?


    Or, in the case of a PC with an Intel i6700k and 16 RAM as a OMV server... is a GPU like Nvidia necessary?


    Thanks in advance

  • Docker, Plugin or DEB for Emby Server

    Thank you both.



    Yes, flatpack is a repository that is taking a lot of force in practically all Linux distributions. Either by terminal or GUI the repository can be added. Debian 10 will bring flatpack if I'm not wrong, snap is more Ubuntu.


    I'm in Emby's beta program, and in terms of server it's better that way, I've done it for a couple of years and actually the beta is very stable, with one thing or another, but nothing that they do not solve in question of hours.


    In any case what really worries me is installing it in docker and then the plugins stop having OMV support with the new OMV version.


    I do not use Emby as a player on the server, ever. I only use the WebUI for the configurations and the libraries, playlists and those things. I have Emby to use it in the different Emby clients that I have in my house and without external access.
    On some devices I can use the SMB or the mini DLNA ->(another plugin and I'm worried that it will run out of support on v5)


    In short, that is the reason for my question.


    Thank you very much in advance.

  • Docker, Plugin or DEB for Emby Server

    Thanks again for your answer.


    Emby does not run by default on port 80. Port 8096 is the default but you can change it to the one you want. Docker is excellent, I was a little worried about the future support for Emby or Plex in OMV and the next version.



    By the way .. TODAY: Debian Buster (Debian 10) will be officially launched https://bits.debian.org/2019/07/upcoming-buster.html and I assume that's something the OMV developers were waiting for new version.

  • OMV5 or PMV4

    Zitat von devnet

    OMV5 will most likely be out AFTER Buster...and will take some time to make sure it is stable. One can assume it won't come out simultaneously.


    If you look @ OMV4, it came out 11 months after Debian 9. Good rule of thumb is to assume a similar timeline.


    Debian Buster (Debian 10) will be officially launched https://bits.debian.org/2019/07/upcoming-buster.html



    "The Debian Release Team in coordination with several other teams are preparing the last bits needed for releasing Debian 10 "Buster" on Saturday 6 July 2019."

  • Docker, Plugin or DEB for Emby Server

    Zitat von KM0201

    I'm not familiar with the flatpak repo, but if it is 100% Debian 9 repo, and not an Ubuntu, or Mint, or whatever repo.. it *should* be fine.


    Is there a particular reason you don't want to use the Emby docker? I'm not a particular fan of Emby (although it's way better than Plex), but I've set it up in Docker before and it's more or less brain dead simple if you follow the video tutorial linked above.


    Thank you very much for the reply. I'm really in that dilemma, I do not know if it's better to use the docker or take advantage of the new repo flatpak from debian / Ubuntu / any Debian-based. Flatpack is a -standard * of repositories that was adopted even by Fedora.
    I ask the question because I do not know if installing it from the terminal there may be some problem with OMV which is what I want to use in the file server. Otherwise I would use the Docker. I follow the Youtube channel of @TechnoDadLife and he has an excellent installation tutorial for Emby .... but I have only the doubt of whether it is better docker or through flatpak repository (flatbub).



    Thank you!

  • Docker, Plugin or DEB for Emby Server

    Now i need to know if I can use the terminal to install Emby adding the flatpack repo to OMV repository without broke anything.


    I'm going to setup a new dedicated server this weekend and i need to know if i going to use OMV to handle Emby and SMB or if is better install a Debian server to run SMB and Emby.


    Thanks in advance.

  • GPU Necesary After Setup?

    Al aire libre

    Zitat von AgentJ

    I'm thinking about either building a NAS or using a 2014 off-the-shelf PC I've got laying around, but I'm wondering if a GPU is necesary. If I build a NAS, I'll probably go with a Ryzen 3 CPU which doesn't have a built-in GPU, but I also don't want to go shelling out for a GPU just for the NAS or have to waste PCIe lanes on it. Could I just borrow my main rig's GPU for the setup and then shut down the NAS, return the GPU to my main rig, and then power the NAS back up? Or is a GPU still needed somehow for rendering webpages or something else?


    Greetings to the community, and this is my first post :)


    The GPU is not necessary for the web interface.
    However, the GPU can be useful if you install programs for handling multimedia such as Emby or Plex in your OMV.
    These programs require good resources when decoding and send it to other devices for a good perfomance on the client side.
    Emby gives you the option to use your CPU or your GPU for those tasks which is a benefit.


    If that is not your scenario, the GPU is totally irrelevant.


    Note:
    -You can also install OMV using the serial port of the PC with a VGA adapter.
    -You can also place a GPU just to install.
