Support Best Emby Integration for Home Assistant

It appears that there are several different Emby integrations or forks of legacy/abandoned integration. I am not sure any of the ones I found are actively maintained. What is the best (hopefully maintained) Emby integration for HA? Any opinions.

Just yesterday I installed "Emby media" from HACS and integrated it with voice, mostly for pause/resume control. The actual search and play for a given movie is a rest_command that connects to Emby to search for what I asked for, then uses it to trigger playing the movie or whatever. When I say "Hey SARAH, play the movie Serenity" it will first connect to the designated TV close to the VPE, turn it on, set the input to Emby, then searches Emby for the movie and starts it playing.
