Emby for Android 2.2.38
But a server can do the same job even better, as it provides you with increased security, unlimited space and access anytime anywhere. Emby for Android is an Android app that provides users with remote access to files stored on a server on their computer or laptop.
Sleek interface that makes it easy to navigate inside the app
First of all, you'll need to download Media Browser Server from the developer's website for free. Install the server on your computer to get started. It's not difficult to do, the interface will guide you through all the steps for setting up the server on your computer and configure it to meet all of your requests.
The app's interface is really nice, it sports a side menu on the left side of the screen and features on a toolbox. Users have the option of using the search bar to find files easier or access settings to make the app their own.
Stream videos and audio from the server
The neat thing about this app is that it offers a free alternative to paid cloud services and lets you access files you've been working on from any device anywhere there's internet connection. So you can pick up where you left off.
The side menu offers access to multiple sections of the app, including music and photos. Access to content is secured with a username and password, which you'll set up after installing the software on your computer.
The app lets you manage connections, in case you've installed it on multiple devices. You can also change the layout or adjust margins to properly align content with screen edges.
Use Chromecast to stream videos
The app supports a whole array of devices and platforms, including Android, Chromecast, DLNA Devices (like Smart TV's), iOS, Linux, OSX, Roku, Windows Phone, and Windows 7/8/RT. This means that you can play your media files or view pictures on multiple devices.
It also comes with ratings-based parental controls to monitor and limit what your children watch. Other than that it comes with multiple filters for you to sort through media files saved on the server.
