# What is Emby?

> Emby brings together your personal videos, music, photos, and live television. (...) Emby Server automatically converts and streams your personal media on the fly to play on any device.
|
||||
|
||||
On YAMS, Emby is one of the most important parts: Emby is going to be your "Netflix", "Hulu" or "Amazon Prime". This means you'll be able to stream your TV shows and movies to any device using Emby.
|
||||
In YAMS, Emby is your streaming service superstar! 🌟 Just like Netflix or Amazon Prime, Emby lets you stream all your media to any device. The best part? You're in complete control!
|
||||
|
||||
## Initial configuration
|
||||
|
||||
In your browser, go to [http://{your-ip-address}:8096/]() and you'll see Emby's setup page.
|
||||
|
||||
Choose your display language and click on "Next".
|
||||
First up, pick your display language and click on "Next".
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Now, create your first user. When you are done, click on "Next".
|
||||
Time to create your first user! This will be your admin account, so make it a good one. When you're done, click "Next".
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Next, on the "Setup Media Libraries" page, click on "New Library".
|
||||
Now we're at the "Setup Media Libraries" page. Click on "New Library" - let's tell Emby where all your awesome content lives! 🎬

|

|
||||
### Setting the "TV Shows" library
|
||||
### Setting up your TV Shows library
|
||||
|
||||
On the "New Library" modal, select "TV shows" as your Content type and click on the big ➕ sign next to "Folders".
|
||||
On the "New Library" modal, pick "TV shows" as your Content type and click that big ➕ sign next to "Folders".
|
||||
|
||||
[](/pics/emby-4.png)
|
||||
|
||||
In "Select Path", select the folder `/data/tvshows` and click on "Ok"
|
||||
In "Select Path", choose the `/data/tvshows` folder and click "Ok"
|
||||
|
||||
[](/pics/emby-5.png)
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** This is NOT on your filesystem! The `/data/tvshows/` folder exists inside the `docker` environment and maps to your server `/mediafolder/tv/` folder!
|
||||
**Docker Magic Note:** 🎩 Don't worry if this path looks weird! The `/data/tvshows/` folder exists inside the docker environment and maps to your server's `/mediafolder/tv/` folder. It's all connected behind the scenes!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You should see your recently added folder in the "New Library" modal.
|
||||
You'll see your newly added folder in the modal:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Finally, set your metadata language to your favorite language. All the default settings that follow are fine, but you can change them if you want.
|
||||
Pick your preferred metadata language. All the default settings are good to go, but feel free to tweak them if you want to get fancy!
|
||||
|
||||
Your "New Library" screen should look like this:

Your "New Library" screen should look something like this:

|
||||
If you are okay with the settings, click on "Ok". Your library should be added now!

|
||||
|
||||
### Setting up your Movies library
|
||||
|
||||
### Setting the "Movies" library
|
||||
Let's do that one more time! Click "New Library" again.
|
||||
|
||||
Open the "New Library modal" again.
|
||||
|
||||
On the "New Library" modal, select "Movies" as your Content type and click on the big ➕ sign next to "Folders".
|
||||
This time, pick "Movies" as your Content type and click the ➕ next to "Folders".
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
In "Select Path", select the folder `/data/movies` and click on "Ok"
|
||||
Choose the `/data/movies` folder and click "Ok"
|
||||
|
||||
[](/pics/emby-10.png)
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** This is NOT on your filesystem! The `/data/movies/` folder exists inside the `docker` environment and maps to your server `/mediafolder/movies/` folder!
|
||||
**More Docker Magic:** ✨ Just like before, `/data/movies/` is actually mapping to your server's `/mediafolder/movies/` folder. Docker is doing its thing!
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You should see your recently added folder in the "New Library" modal.
|
||||
Your folder should show up in the modal:
|
||||
|
||||
[](/pics/emby-11.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, set your metadata language to your favorite language. All the default settings that follow are fine, but you can change them if you want.
|
||||
Set your preferred metadata language again. The defaults are still your friend here!
|
||||
|
||||
Your "New Library" screen should look like this:

|

For the "Configure Remote Access" page, let's keep things simple and secure:
|
||||
- Disable "Enable automatic port mapping"
|
||||

|
||||
|

## Pro Tip! 💡
|
||||
|
||||
If you're loving Emby, I highly recommend checking out [Emby Premiere](https://emby.media/premiere.html)! It's totally optional, but it gives you some really cool features like:
|
||||
- Offline media for your devices
|
||||
- Hardware transcoding (smoother playback!)
|
||||
- Auto-conversion of your content
|
||||
- And lots more!
|
||||
|
||||
I actually canceled all my streaming services, bought a 1-year Emby Premiere license, and never looked back. Just saying! 😉
