Is the network type of your server set to Public (wrong) or Private (correct)? Paul

How are any of those related in any way to anything this plugin does?

Neminem have a good day

Hmm how many posts did Uncle_Frank just write in this thread Guess Frank is the irc you flood

I have no idea, Im just waiting for the new beta.

Good luck in your endeavors.

But...why? What's the point of making the comment?

I contacted Malwarebytes about it some time ago when I got hit with the same thing, and they looked into it and confirmed it was a false positive. They said they'd removed it from their database, but evidently not. I really need to get around to uninstalling Emby Theater. I've been ignoring malware warnings from Malwarebytes for way too long at this point, under the assumption this false positive is all it is.

I know, and thats what im waiting for, the newest version of beta.

Is this a feature request then?

That screenshot helped a lot! Thanks! And yes it works now. Many thanks for your time and patience. I was searching at app preferences --> <user> preferences --> playback. You pointed me to server settings --> users --> <user> --> playback, which is not the same.

Great plugin! I'd love it if it could be expanded to add the ability to sync user settings like the following: Profile > Playback (transcoding, max streams and bitrate) Access > Library Access Parental Controls These would be great additions for users managing multiple users. https://github.com/soderlund91/HomeScreenCompanion/issues/12

Malware

Port 8096 open towards Emby Server is a very low surface attack area for privilege escalation and I don't believe it's an actual attack vector barring undiscovered/unreported vulnerabilities. At most an attacker could capture the unencrypted HTTP traffic and jack user credentials upon auth, or grab an API key from the address, which can grant them access to Emby Server, but not to the server machine itself. They would still need to be in a position to capture that traffic outside the network. Ideally, HTTPS should be used if you're going to open ports to encrypt communications, but nothing inherently wrong with opening 8096 and using HTTP. Based on what was provided by the OP, the executable for Emby Theater was flagged and whether that is false or not it's still unrelated to the details provided - though my comment of Emby Theater running with old vulnerable code still stands, and hence recommending to use Emby for Windows instead. The further details provided indicated an attempt from that IP to connect to their Emby Server and was blocked by Malware Bytes. There are scanners all over the internet that will try to probe for open ports, so I would say Malware Bytes did its job to block it - it's essentially a type of NID (network intrusion detection). Yes, you can get around opening ports by using something like Tailscale but it's not inherently bad to open ports. However the further details indicating Discord being hacked/CC charges, that can indicate that the system has some kind of keylogger, or was cookie-jacked - depending on if you're using MFA with Discord or not. That could have been some other malicious website or link you clicked on. Closing 8096 is unrelated to that.

that is not that case , i even watch that movie or tv show , it also corrupt some files in emby folder , its funny that only files to get corrupted are in emby folder or library folder , files on same hdd but not in emby library are fine , i guess i do something very wrong also i try malvarebytes scan and nothing

Stop TROLLING just go back to irc and troll there

NEVER open ports for any reason not ever

Your not giving good advice just STOP you suck. you can you a meshnet with all ports closed so STOP giving bad advice GO AWAY

embyserver.txtAttached the server log as well, as requested. Video was played around 16:31 UTC on 14.09.2026. Not sure if it helps since it seems to be a problem with the client (direct play).

Opening ports is how you allow remote connections. Opening a port is not, in and of itself, a problem. And if there's malware or something on the machine closing the port will do nothing to remove it. Stop giving bad advice, stop abusing other users.

Lessaj you can anser this, why does an open port cause a threat ? thought so I'm not that guy just sayen

How on earth does the modem relate to fixing the PC? shows your not smart enough for this convo GO away, thnx. Modem has an open port the modem is the reason he got hacked

A bizarre complaint coming from someone who keeps stringing together half a dozen consecutive posts, frequently without any actual content in them. How on earth does the modem relate to fixing the PC?
