Now add some media library. This is where you tell Emby to look for Movies and Series.
💡Tip: Be sure to choose the appropriate content type (e.g., Movies, TV Shows, Music) when creating a library. This helps Emby organize and scan your files correctly.
Next up, you will need to choose and add the folder path where all your media files are stored.
💡 Not sure what folder path to use?
You can find it by checking your FTP client (e.g., FileZilla or WinSCP). It usually looks like this: /home/your-username/files/movies/.
Use the “Add Folder” option in Emby and browse or paste this path.
After that Emby will try to scan the folders for movies. After logging in you will see the movies in the folder
🔐 You may need to log in again using the admin account you just created after the setup wizard finishes.
