Add support for Emby Server

Open rafaelvieiras opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

So what do you think about supporting emby servers? I started using Kodi with local media, I went to plex for a short time, but in the end I decided to stay with the emby. I really want to see the project with support for emby and even collaborating with it.

So the issue falls to how the code interacts with the actual server.

At present, that is all handled behind the scenes by plexapi. Plexapi does all the "heavy lifting" when it comes to plex communication: initiating contact, figuring out what's available, and even telling a client to start playing.

If you can find a similar module for python that performs those features for emby or even Kodi it wouldn't be too hard; just a matter of plugging that module in and changing references to plexapi in the code.

Do you know if something like that exists?

Yes, Emby has a full api system to get information, streaming and client controll. This works like a Plex! :D

Hmm looks interesting! Then it may be possible. Though it would take some time to learn how to use it, then implement it.
