Em Customer Insights

1. And also the ability to see the upcoming videos in my playlist would be a great added feature.I have used Emby for a long time, and I would have given it five stars if it was working on all of my devices.

2. This works well and I find editing the data much easier in emby than plex.

3. Thanks! Other than that, Emby rocks! I love it!I like this better than plex because it is less full of forced changes.

4. I have a chromecast music and I'm trying to use emby on my phone to control my music from my server to the chromecast at home and the app is buggy.

5. I recently switched over from Plex which was non stop issues for me so finding Emby is such a huge relief.

6. So close to being perfect.Would love to give you guys 5 stars because I love Emby! But the "edit images" feature only allows you to delete the thumbnail and make it black.

7. I made the switch from Plex to Emby and I doubt I'll go back.

8. Back then I just took a long break from Emby and went back to Plex.

9. Emby has similar features but is easier to navigate configure and use.New emby server setup at home with account.

10. I actually have both media servers running on my home network and Emby is much easier to configure the interface and background shots are beautiful.

11. I would recommend a cleaner material UI for the app and emby server.
