Introduction
Emby is a media management server that allows you to synchronize media libraries, watched status, and watch progress between compatible devices. Emby for Kodi allows Kodi to use an Emby Server as a media management backend. This add-on effectively replaces the Kodi built-in media database with the Emby Server. Currently supported media includes Movies, TV Episodes, & Music.
