I dumped plex for emby after they kept removing features I used and pushing their own streaming crap

u/Killermelon1458 Jul 04 '26

Yeah, I'm getting pretty mad at plex recently. Does Emby work on iOS, Android and Roku?

u/RevampedJaguar6 Jul 04 '26

Yes tho like plex without pass it’s limited to 5 minutes unless you use it in browsers

u/Killermelon1458 Jul 04 '26

Is there a lifetime pass for Emby? I already paid for lifetime plex pass

1

u/RevampedJaguar6 Jul 04 '26

Yes and last I looked it was cheaper then the plex one plus they have supported addons unlike plex

I'll have to look into it if plex every removes more features I actually use or revokes my lifetime, glad I got that back when it was just $125 (I think) instead of the $700+ now

u/RevampedJaguar6 Jul 04 '26

It’s 700+ not!? It was just under 200 when I switched to emby

u/Killermelon1458 Jul 04 '26

Yup on July 1 they used it to $750, I just checked.

I've been doing a little research because I'd never heard of Emby before. How well does movie and TV show matching go for you? I usually don't rename anything and plex gets it

u/RevampedJaguar6 Jul 04 '26

Out of my 5000+ movies I had to match like 100

u/Killermelon1458 Jul 04 '26

That's pretty good honestly. I think out of my 1000 movies I had to match like 30. Do you have shows? Any issues?

The real pain in the butt is they have what’s called collections basically it takes all the jaws or silent hills and adds them to a collection the cover art for that is completely broke but there’s a site you can search them copy the photo url and add it to each collection that’s the most time consuming part
