How to Connect Emby to Yamby (Android Client)

This documentation guides you step by step on how to connect your Emby server to the Yamby app on your Android device.

Yamby is an alternative client for Emby, allowing you to access your media collection directly from your Android phone or tablet, providing a viewing experience optimized for mobile devices.

1. Installing the Yamby App

The first step is to install the Yamby app on your Android device. You can do this in two ways:

Option A - From Google Play Store Access the official link from the Play Store and install the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hush.yamby

Option B - Via APK file If you prefer to install the app manually, you can download the APK file from here: https://cdn.adelin.org/downloads/yamby/Yamby_1.6.9.12_APKPure.xapk

2. Open the app after installation

After the installation has completed successfully, open the Yamby app. You will see the main start screen of the application.
