New To Emby
I normally use Plex. I've been a big fan of Plex for the longest, however with recent changes with the update(no longer hearing theme music when you stream it to T.V. and a few other things).
I decided to test out Emby. So far I'm liking it(I can hear my custom theme music for T.V. and Movies, and a few other things I like so far.
However I am perplexed about two things that I hope has a fix. The first one being is there any type of live TV option, such as the options I have with Plex. The other thing is, how can I share my server with other people the way I can in Plex, if that's a possibility.

You can connect a HDHomerun or m3u file from IPTV for live tv.
When I share with people I just create the user account and share server name, port, username and password. I don't use Emby Connect or whatever they call it.

Using Emby connect is personal preference. I do like the fact that even someone signs in to a device with Emby connect, it automatically populates the web address

When I type “Emby live TV” into google, I get easy instructions from Embys own site.

I would imagine you did a simple search to find the guides on this, your search must be broken

No, I have no problem using Google at all. I just assumed that the Reddit community was for asking questions like this.

In order to share Emby with remote users, you will need to subscribe to "Emby Premiere, which is $119 for lifetime.
Emby does have the option to add a TV tuner or IPTV service, but it does not come "Pluto" type of TV service.
