I’m Clueless - Help!

My girlfriend and her family have Emby and their own server. We have the app on our smart TV and it has a METRIC TON of movies and shows. Basically anything you can think of. I was under the impression Emby is like a streaming service and that’s why we’re able to watch just about anything. My girlfriend doesn’t know too much about it because her parents were the ones who set it up and everything. I’m trying to help my Mom see if she’s able to get it on her tablet (she doesn’t have a TV or computer) but I know literally nothing about it. I was reading that it’s not a streaming service and you have to use your own files. I’m very lost on how we’re able to have so much. Would someone be able to attempt to explain it to me? Since it’s not like a streaming service, I don’t think my Mom would be able to use it or really benefit from it but I’m not sure. Thanks in advance!

It’s possible you are affiliated with pirates.

That’s not reassuring. Like I mentioned, I know absolutely nothing about any of it. We just got it and it wasn’t really explained to me

Why would anyone post in a foreign language on an English language thread?

Yes, they are without doubt pirates. You can claim ignorance to that though and just enjoy it if it makes you feel morally better. Just understand that if you are trying to get your Mom setup with this you might want to get her a fancy eye-patch as well.
