PoBear 19 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Hi I've moved my problem from yesterday in to its own topic. I'm running the latest version of Theater, I have done a re-install from the download page, on my test machine, I'm trying to connect to a Server on another machine across a wired n/w. When I start Theater I get a request for a user and password, my users have no password but I've created a new one with a password, each time I get a message "unable to connect to remote server. The server is up and running, I can see the machine on the network and can ping it using it's n/w name and the IP address. I can connect using the web client and Emby Classic running on the same machine. The server originally had a DHCP address but I've changed it to a static one, all machines and the router recognise the new address. The problem existed before I changed the IP. theater-63571985174.txt theater-63571982029.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystic.bertie 23 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 i get occasional login problems that can only be fixed by uninstalling emby, deleteing the 2 emby folders in C - users - xxxx - appdata - roaming, restart pc, reinstall, if i dont delete the folders im faced with the login screen each time i reinstall. I just had to do my pc and laptop today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution PoBear 19 Posted July 9, 2015 Author Solution Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) I had a look at the Config files. The servers.json has the machine name (correct) and the IP address (incorrect). I updated the file with the correct address but still had a request for user and password. Interestingly when I checked the file again it had the incorrect IP address again. Renaming the file appears to have fixed the problem, I'll check it for a couple days.

Scott Kemp 3 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 There needs to be a menu option in the application to manage the server connections! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
