1 Emby Server uses FFmpeg for transcoding and ImageMagick for
2 generating thumbnails. The default ports/pkg builds of FFmpeg
3 and ImageMagick on FreeBSD have a number of options which
4 could be SET/UNSET to improve your Emby Server experience.
6 It is recommended to recompile the multimedia/ffmpeg package
7 from ports with the following options ENABLED (SET):
8 - ASS (required for subtitle rendering)
9 - LAME (required for mp3 audio transcoding, disabled by default due to mp3 licensing restrictions)
10 - OPUS (required for opus audio codec support)
11 - X265 (required for H.265 video codec support
13 It is recommended to recompile the graphics/ImageMagick package
14 from ports with the following options DISABLED (UNSET):
15 - 16BIT_PIXEL (to increase thumbnail generation performance)
17 If you had mediabrowser installed before the project was
18 renamed to emby-server, you may want to rename the user and
19 group (note that moving the database is not supported):
20 # pw groupmod 989 -n mediabrowser -l emby
21 # pw usermod 989 -n mediabrowser -l emby -g emby -c Emby\ Server
23 To automatically start Emby Server at boot time:
24 # echo 'emby_server_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
26 To then manually start Emby Server without rebooting:
27 # service emby-server start
