Asking for user and password

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.

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.

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.
