Basically you start out with a completely configured WMC.
As I recall, I installed ServerWMC next http://kodi.wiki/view/ServerWMC
Then EmbyServer https://emby.media/download.html
Server Configuration https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Installation
Don't install any of the client apps. I am going to show you how to use a plain old Internet Browser as the client.
Windows 7, ServerWMC, and EmbyServer

After reading a few of my old posts, my memory is refreshed a bit.
I remember having this goal of streaming live TV over the internet to wherever I am. I wanted my WMC in the truck when I was travelling. The software I was trying to use was not cooperating and I thought I would try out XBMC which gave me LiveTV on the server with No DRM channels. I was just about to jump in to the Plex thing, and I heard that MediaBrowser (MB) (now Emby) had come up with this ServerWMC thing that could distribute the LiveTV around the LAN. As things progressed with MediaBrowser, I eventually set things up to broadcast over WAN. Woke up one day and MediaBrowser had been updated and now had a new name.....Emby. I was unable to figure out how to return to (MB) since then I have shut off Emby and ServerWMC Updates
What we did with MB was, we gave Internet Explorer 10 a little plug-in called HTML5, this allowed the video to be displayed in the browser. Chrome (at the time) did not need any help. Whatever browser you get with a Iphone 3GS worked also. NO PLUGINS ARE NEEDED.
All you need to do is type the IP of the server and the port, and bam your watching TV
For LAN or WAN you have to give the server a static IP. Then in the router you port forward your server 192.168.1.192 to your WAN IP 68.48.86.24 In the above example the server is listening for requests to connect on port 8088
Yea, Yea, Yea, you can do that with the Comcast app, but we were doing that before Comcast even had an app.
Our app doesn't tell you "Sorry, you have to be on your Home WiFi" to play that channel.
I just wanted to write down a few things that came to mind when I started thinking about it.
RecordedTV on XBMC March 29, 2014 thanks to ServerWMC http://www.thegreenbutton.tv/forums/vie ... 447#p73447
Man, that was a long time ago. I was streaming Recorded to a Iphone 3GS
LiveTV didn't happen until about a month later. MB jumped ahead with the WAN feature, dumped XBMC and Plex.
