This app is a wrapper for the Emby web client.

Embedded within the Emby server is a full-featured HTML5 client that will allow you to access your library. This app allows you to simply connect to the web client locally or from anywhere with internet access (proper router configuration will be required).

Together with a rich interface for your library, the web client also contains a full-featured metadata editor that allows you to take complete control of the data associated with your items.

NOTE: You will need Emby installed in order to use this app. Go to http://emby.media for information and install instructions.

User reviews

Doesn't work. I click it and get a blank white screen. (Vivaldi Chromium Browser)

How do I switch fullscreen mode on and off? ESC turns it off. The fullscreen button on videos doesn't turn it back on. Is restarting the app the only way to turn it back on?

Looks like this has been updated. Playback looks just as good as the web client, has all the same features as well. My only complaint is that in full screen mode there is a bar at the top with the window controls and the bottom windows taskbar is visible. Solid app.
