Connect Emby

Connect Emby

The setup page signs in to Emby with your username and password, and keeps the resulting access token.

Before you start

• Your Emby server is running and reachable from the PC running nowplaying.
• You know the username and password of the Emby account whose watching you want to show.

Steps

1. In setup, choose Emby.
2. Enter your server address, for example https://emby.example.com or http://192.168.1.20:8096.
3. Enter your Emby username and password and choose Sign in.
4. Run the connection test.

Success looks like: the test passes and setup shows your Emby username.

Common problems

• Authentication failed: check the username and password by signing in to the Emby web interface.
• Connection test fails with "unreachable": check the address opens in a browser on the same PC.

Your Emby access token is stored in Windows Credential Manager, not in the settings file, and your password is not kept.
