Emby
The other media server
Jellyfin forked from Emby years ago, so the interface will feel familiar. Emby keeps a wider set of client apps and a paid tier for hardware transcoding and mobile sync, while the server itself is free. Reads the same library folders as everything else here.

Module
embyInstalling it
Open the dashboard, find it in the App Store and press Install. Or from a terminal on the box:
sudo homebox install embyWhere to open it
| Service | Port | First login |
|---|---|---|
| Emby | :8092 | Emby walks you through creating the first user on the first visit. |
Open it at your box's address with that port — the dashboard links to it directly once it is running.
Good to know
- On 8092, not Emby's usual 8096 — Jellyfin already answers there and two servers cannot share a port
- Point the libraries at /data/movies and /data/tv, the paths inside the container
- Hardware transcoding is an Emby Premiere feature and also needs the GPU passed in, which this module does not do
