Emby support #520

Same as https://github.com/howardchung/watchparty/issues/3, but for Emby.

Plex already has native "watch together" support. Emby does not support such a feature and would benefit a lot more from WatchParty than Plex.

Curious what the demand for this feature is. . . I've never heard of Emby before but it does have a lot of stars on GitHub!

I imagine Emby already allows generating a public link to videos and those can be used with WatchParty. . . but an improved integration would be for room owners to link the room to an Emby server and then we can replace the video dropdown with the list of videos on the server.

(also, if you have a emby server I can test with, that would make it so I don't have to set up my own for testing)

If you want to get that list of videos on the server: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/wiki/Browsing-the-Library
