Emby

Optional Step

This step is completely optional, and only those with Emby media servers should continue.

As a Media Server, Emby can serve as an Episode Data Source, Image Source, and as a location where Title Cards are uploaded to.

  1. Under the Emby section, click the Add Connection button.

  2. Give this Connection some descriptive name - e.g. Emby - and enter the root URL to your Emby server including the port.

    Example URL

    Although your local IP address will obviously be different, this IP should be like http://192.168.0.29:8096/.

  3. Open your Emby interface, and open your server Dashboard by clicking the gear icon in the top right.

  4. Scroll to the bottom of the left navigation bar, open Api Keys under Advanced.

  5. Click + New Api Key, and enter some name (like TitleCardMaker).

  6. Copy the created key, it should be a 32-character long string of numbers and the letters between A and F.

  7. Back within TitleCardMaker, paste the API key from Step 6 into the API key input box and then click Create. TCM will reload the page.

  8. After the page has reloaded, expand the Connection form you just created and select the username of the account you would like Episode watch-statuses to be queried from.

  9. Click Save Changes.

The above process can be repeated for as many Emby Media Servers as you have. I do recommend specifying a unique name for each Connection so they can be easily distinguished within the UI.
