Plugins are usually behind on updates. To keep more current, you can install Emby or Plex (pkg/port: multimedia/plexmediaserver) within a Jail manually.

...and manually installing either takes all of three commands once you've created the jail:
Code:
pkg install plexmediaserver
sysrc plexmediaserver_enable=YES
service plexmediaserver start

or
Code:
pkg install emby-server
sysrc emby-server_enable=yes
service emby-server start


In either case, just as with the plugin, you'd need to add storage and set up your libraries.

Hey guys. Sorry to revive this thread. On the web page you linked for installing on FreeBSD, one of the steps was to uninstall the ffpmeg that gets installed as part of the dependencies for emby-server and compile it from source in portsnap. Is this still necessary?
