Emby not working

There really needs to be an emby app for XboxOne is the long and short of it. It's the only device I own that emby cannot interface with, which is silly.

Well, Z0mbi, wouldn't that be the fault of the emby devs then? I would take it up with them.

Also, FWIW, I found myself going through hoop set #2 above tonight and said "there must be an easier way" and found this. So I would argue there are many people who "have a stake" in this, regardless of if the solution is emby or not (though I think emby
is the most natural fit at this point, if MS has given up on doing it in house).

After loading the Fall Creator's update Edge and Emby app no longer crash when trying to direct stream media.

Xbox does not support reading network shares, which is kinda odd considering it runs Windows and it should be able to join Homegroups created by Windows when you think about it.

So your options are

1) Get VLC from Xbox app store, it can read SMB network shared folder under "browse" category.

2) Install a DLNA media server on your PC like Serviio or Mezzmo and use that to stream to Xbox stock media player which supports DLNA.

3) Install a media server like Plex or Emby and use there clients available in the Xbox app store, to play the media that way, Plex/Emby do also double as DLNA servers too but their app clients are a better way to access the media.
