Configuration Notes

• API Key: Generate this in Emby's admin panel at "System" → "Advanced" → "API Keys."
• Bind User: You must enter the correct service address and API key and save first, then you can select a user from the dropdown.

Connection Verification

• Network Connectivity: Make sure the AMMDS server can reach the Emby service address.
• Authentication: The API key needs sufficient permissions to perform the required operations.
• Service Status: Make sure Emby is running and can respond to API requests.

Features

• Status Monitoring: Monitors Emby server status in real-time.

Notes

:::warning Service Address Don't use localhost or 127.0.0.1 as the service address, especially in Docker environments — it may cause connection issues. :::

:::info API Key Permissions It's recommended to create a dedicated API key for AMMDS with only the necessary permissions — more secure that way. :::
