EmbyQueen 0 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Hello @@cayars I have just started using Emby. At first I was using my macbook air as server but I saw that it started taking up space on my hard drive so decided to try out Nvidea as the server. I downloaded the APK server from Emby website and I enable Emby Server which gives me the connection website to either type in on my mac or I can click on the OPEN IN BROWSER underneath the connection address. Every time I click on this I get: This page isn't working Host: localhost Error Code: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED Now when I type in the connection address in my mac browser it works. I am able to get into the server dashboard. I would like to do this on my Nvidia so that I can add my external drive which contains all my films and tv shows to the Nvidia server. At the moment I cannot do this due to not being able to open the browser. I have also downloaded the Emby app so I have both the app and server app on my Nvidia. Anybody got any idea?

EmbyQueen 0 Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 FYI: Accessing the server on my mac I see I have two different Local HTTP port numbers: 8096 and 8920 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmind11 717 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 ?, you can use a browser from anywere to administer your server. so use your mac browser and configure emby server on your shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmbyQueen 0 Posted September 27, 2019 Author Share Posted September 27, 2019 Hello mastrmind11 Thank you for responding. My problem is that I can access the server on my mac (for Nvidia) but the server is not finding my external hard drive. Yet when I have my mac as the server it finds it no problem.

Luke 37025 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Is the external hard drive connected to the Shield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prunhardt 3 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) To administer the Emby server on the shield using a web browser on your laptop, you need the IP address and port number of your Emby server. You can find both in the Emby server app (not the Emby client app) on your shield, when the server is running. The Emby server app gives you the address to use in any web browser containing both IP address and port number. Once you're "in", the web browser will show the media/client interface or (first time use) will ask you which server to use. To change the server settings and set up your libraries you need to click the man-scaped icon (I don't know a better word) in the top right corner of your screen of the client interface. You can find more info on how to set up Emby here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Quick-start Edited November 19, 2019 by prunhardt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
