Connect Emby to Dashboarr

To connect Emby to Dashboarr, add an Emby instance with the Emby HTTPS address from your client area as the Remote URL and an API key created in Emby under Settings → Advanced → API Keys. The Emby tab mirrors the Jellyfin one: Now Playing, Recent, Continue Watching and Libraries. Part of the Dashboarr seedbox setup guide.

What you need

As with Jellyfin, complete Emby’s setup wizard and add a library first.

Step by step

1. Create the key in Emby (Settings → Advanced → API Keys) and copy it.
2. Dashboarr → Settings → Integrations → Browse services → Emby.
3. Remote URL = the HTTPS address, API Key = the key, Always use Remote URL on.
4. Test Connection (probes /System/Info/Public), then Save.

What the Emby tab gives you

• Now Playing with user, device and progress; Recent, sortable; Continue Watching; Libraries.
• Dashboard widgets: Emby Now Playing, Combined Now Playing, Service Health.

Emby Premiere is not needed for any of this: the API endpoints Dashboarr uses are part of the free server.

FAQ

Emby Connect sign-in?

Not used. Dashboarr authenticates with the server-side API key only.

Does the Emby key expire?

No. Keys created under Advanced → API Keys stay valid until you delete them there; Dashboarr keeps using the same one after app updates.
