# What is Emby?
From their [website](https://emby.media/about.html)
> 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.
## 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".

Now, create your first user. When you are done, click on "Next".
[](/pics/emby-2.png)
Next, on the "Setup Media Libraries" page, click on "New Library".
[](/pics/emby-3.png)
### Setting the "TV Shows" library
On the "New Library" modal, select "TV shows" as your Content type and click on the big ➕ sign next to "Folders".
[](/pics/emby-4.png)
In "Select Path", select the folder `/data/tvshows` and click on "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!
You should see your recently added folder in the "New Library" 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.
Your "New Library" screen should look like this:
[](/pics/emby-7.png)
If you are okay with the settings, click on "Ok". Your library should be added now!
[](/pics/emby-8.png)
### Setting the "Movies" library
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".
[](/pics/emby-9.png)
In "Select Path", select the folder `/data/movies` and click on "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!
You should see your recently added folder in the "New Library" 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.
Your "New Library" screen should look like this:
[](/pics/emby-12.png)
If you are okay with the settings, click on "Ok". Your library should be added now!
[](/pics/emby-13.png)
To finish, click on the "Next" button.

[](/pics/emby-16.png)
Accept the terms of service and click on "Next".
[](/pics/emby-17.png)

### Logging in to Emby
On the "Please Sign In" screen, select your user and login with the username/password you set on the [Initial configuration](#initial-configuration) step.
[](/pics/emby-19.png)
[](/pics/emby-20.png)
And there it is! Your Emby home page, up and running!

## That's all!
YAMS is fully up and running! Now, let's add some content. Move on to [Running everything together](/config/running-everything-together).
