terferi 0 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hello guys, I am trying out Mediabrowser. I am having some trouble connecting to the channel via roku. I installed the server and it is running. It is the default port and I also port forward this as well via my router/modem. I entered the pin into the website, and it said pin accepted. Then it searches and nothing is found. I've tried entering multiple addresses, local host, 192.x, my real ip, etc, but nothing finds the server. I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong. Any help is appreciated! Thanks Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14904 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Did you link one of your users on the server to your account name here? https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Users Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endosmok 0 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'm in the same boat. Trying this for the first time (long time plex and xbmc user) and I can tell you, this is definitely not plug and play. That link you have up there... within that link is says.... Linking a user to Media Browser Connect will enable an easier sign in process that doesn't require the user to know your server's ip address. For more information, see Media Browser Connect. If you click on that github for LInking a User..... it's absolutely empty, blank, nada, no help. I can connect fine with all pc clients, but not a single Roku is working. Even if I manually enter my IP it doesn't see it. Just the unable to connect. I read the post where it says "If the Roku is blocked from the Media Browser server application (mediabrowser.serverapplication.exe) on the configured HTTP server port, the Roku will show an "Unable to Connect" error." But it doesn't explain why it would be blocked or how to unblock it. I remember I installed this about 2 years ago with Roku and it worked fine. Any help is appreciated.

Luke 37010 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Hi, sorry about this. Would you mind installing from the zip file? http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/8001-media-browser-for-roku-channel/ Try that since it has changes that haven't made it to the store yet. If it's still not working then we can help you get logs from the device. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endosmok 0 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ok... spoke too soon... and this could be me... All my Roku's 2 XSs work fine (3 of them), my Roku 3 still a no go. I don't have another one to see if it's something with that particular unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37010 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 try the new 1.78 update that was released last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endosmok 0 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Still a no go on my Roku 3 (wired connection) with 1.78. It gets the code and verifies then I manually add the server IP and does not find it. I am signed in on the Roku MB3 app. Does everything except find the server. It could be my unit. I know it was a refurb and I had a network issue with it when I first received it which I resolved by going thru the special debug menu in the Roku. The only thing that has me suspicious about my Roku 3 is that my remote app on my phone cannot see the Roku 3, but sees the Roku 2 XS's. But all my other apps and Roku functions seem to be working properly, including Plex. Can anyone confirm that this indeed works on a Roku 3 for me? Also, I want to ask. When I login to my user account *connect" does it not suppose to find the server automatically. I am comparing this to Plex, where as it has a similar procedure. If I just login on the app, the server and it's content are immediately viewable. I never have to manually enter the IP for the app. Even on the working Roku 2 XS I had to manually enter the ip for the server even after connecting. I only had to do it once, but is this how it is designed? thanks Edited January 9, 2015 by Endosmok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37010 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 yes, a lot of us can confirm the best thing to do is post the kind of information that was supplied here, and then we can hunt it down quickly. http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/16795-bypass-mediabrowser-connect-completely/ also. if you are using the connect pin code feature, make sure you have linked an MBS user to connect from inside the server dashboard.

Endosmok 0 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Ok... thanks for confirming. I figured it was on my end. And I was able to figure out why. Basically it wasn't on the same subnet for some reason. Quick router fix and its up and running good now. Thanks for the help again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
