Headroom for Emby

Emby support is in, and it needs testers.

Emby shares most of its plumbing with Jellyfin, so the whole player works with it. I've had far less real-world testing on Emby servers, though, and I won't list it as supported until that changes.

What to try

Run through a normal listening session.

Sign in the way you normally reach your server, browse and search, play a few tracks, seek around, put the app in the background, download an album, relaunch, and check that it plays offline.

Library

Artwork, album order, multi-disc sets, artists, genres, and search results.

Playback

Title, artwork, elapsed time, queue order, pause, seek, and the handoff to the next track.

Accounts

Remove and re-add the server. Nothing from another server should bleed through.

When it breaks

Send a diagnostic report from the app. It includes the failing request without your credentials.

Emby is in the beta so I can find out whether it holds up. If it doesn't pass cleanly on both iOS and Android, it won't be listed as supported at launch.
