By Default Emby sends a header that prevents loading in an iframe.

Windows:

• Edit C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\config\system.xml
• Look for <DenyIFrameEmbedding>true</DenyIFrameEmbedding> replace true with false
• Should look like <DenyIFrameEmbedding>false</DenyIFrameEmbedding>
• Save the file and restart Emby
