I'm running an Emby server from home. I have a few friends that I have shared my server with. They signed up for Emby Connect accounts and I added their usernames via the Emby dashboard. I've noticed for some reason, no matter which user logs in, it takes them to a screen that shows every other Emby user that also has access to the server and you can simply click on one of the users and get access to their Emby account. Users that do not have admin access even appear to be able to select an account that does have admin access and can then access the dashboard. How did I achieve this state? Is it because I added them as users and not guests? None of their profiles have the "Allow this user to manage the server" box checked, so I don't understand why this is happening. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi all, Having a bit of a strange issue here, only started happening recently ~last week or so. If I use Emby connect through the app.emby.media link, it allows me to sign in and shows my server. Once the server is connected, it loads 'infinitely' by which I mean no errors come up but it doesn't display any media. It's only doing this on external connections as it works internally absolutely fine. Strangely enough, the Emby mobile app connects fine and I can use the IP address within the server dashboard to direct connect off-network and that also connects fine - it's just Emby connect which is behaving strangely. Steps taken: Restarted Emby - updated to most recent version (3.2.60.0) Rebooted server Rebooted router External ports checked and open, the server sits within a DMZ on the router and has a static internal IP. I removed the server from Emby connect and re-added it - that connects fine internally but still not loading externally. Replicated issue using Android browser on Cellular connection IP address matches in the server dashboard fine. Oddly enough, the dashboard does show that the user is authenticated in 'Recent Activity' but they never get presented with any of the Media containers. User permissions not at fault as the same user (my own) can connect directly and view everything instantly. It's worth noting that I've recently re-added in my media libraries after clearing up drive lettering, so the recently added items are quite full - I've tried disabling them from displaying and the issue is persisting. I've attached my server log and the screenshot from my mobile showing the infinite loading screen. Any help would be appreciated, everything points to an issue with Emby connect but as it works inside my network I'm honestly not sure what's causing this - as the direct IP address works, we're using that as a workaround for the moment. - Koame server-63651237892.txt

can be deleted, sorted problem myself

Hi, I'm not sure if this is a bug or not... but, I have tried to add email addresses to user accounts (including mine), but Emby Connect is not recognising them. Usernames work fine though. Any suggestions?

Definitions: Local refers to HTTP/unsecure External refers to HTTPS/secure For local use, I really see no reason to use passwords but for external use, passwords are critical to prevent anonymous access (only want a handful of people to access it, not the ~7 billion people on the planet). What I expected going into this is that only Emby Connect enabled accounts would show up through HTTPS and they would require the Emby Connect credentials to log in. What I got was the same as HTTP: click a name and you're in. So, what does Emby support now in terms restricting access to the world other than NAT routers and requiring all users to have password? If I have it about right, then consider this a feature request (probably should move it to Feature Request forum).

Not sure if this is the right place for this topic. I have been having a problem for a few weeks now where I cannot login to Emby Connect when I am on a mobile data network. When I am at home on my network or at a friend's house on their network I am able to login with no problems. But if I turn wireless off on my phone and connect to the phone's data network, I cannot login. The problem is the same if I try to login to Emby Connect via a web browser also.

Hi, I am a Premiere member and I have set up Emby Server mainly in order to use it with my (several) Kodi installations. It works just fine with my over 4.000 Movies and 20.000 TV episodes. (Even though setup process took several days in order to get it perfectly working and understand all parts of the Emby Server system) Now I have tried to setup Emby in my Windows phones and must say that I am extremly disappointed with the "Emby App". It has several huge problems desribed below. Optional there is also Emby Theater but it is mainly intended for use on TV or Home monitors that are bigger so it is not so nice and easy to use on a phone. Emby Theater works and let you login with Emby Connect and it let you play movies without any problems or limitations. However Emby Theather seems less developed than Android App. Final option is using Microsoft Edge internetbrowser which looks nice and is funtional BUT does not let you play any movies (not supported) and it does not let you go fullscreen. Problems with Emby App: First problem is that Emby App refuse to login with Emby Connect so I don't get full functions as I should have as a lifetime Premiere member. (More about login problems below). As it is now I can just play one movie per day. Second problem is that the Emby App for Windows phone is not all all so nice like the same version for Android. Menus and pictures are oversized and makes it look ugly and difficult to navigate. It also has problem to handle my big Movie collection and shows simple archive maps instead of nice Movie covers. (Which is not a problem in the Android version of the same app) Listing of movies is shown in "List view" instead of Androids nice looking "Cover mode". Some navigation options are not functioning (bugs). Example going by "Folders" from homepage you cannot open your maps inside there. Touch a map and "nada" happens. Windows App is also missing the nice and functional menu buttons that you see down in the Andoid version. (Meaning that you actually cannot do as many thinigs as in Android) Third problem is that Movie player get stuck on one and the same trailer and refuse to play anything else. So I can not even see my 1 alllowed movie. And I cannot try another movie because of the limitation. Summary is that the Emby App for Windows Phone needs a major upgrade and as it is for now. Emby Theater is the only working choice for a Windowsphone. To ask people to actually buy the Emby App in Microsoft Store is actually nothing but a robbery. (Pay for such shit - really! Come on it should be free until it has same functionallity as the Android version. Here follows some details of the problem with Emby Connect and Emby App: Emby App (not Emby Theater) refuse to login with Emby Connect. Reading the forums and google around I have tried several things. Connect with internal end external WIFI network makes no difference. Using the phones 4G also does not work. Trying with server external address as fixed IP number or dynamic DNS makes no change. I have used a Windows 10 Phone Lumia 950 XL Dual and a Windows 8 Phone Lumia 920. Windowsphone 10 version = 10.0.14393.321 Windowsphone 8 version = 8.10.14234.375 I actually also created a second Emby account just in order to try if something was wrong with my account. But I could not login with Emby Connect from that new account either. Also I cannot login inside the app with Emby Connect (after login by skip) P.S. I did upload the logs from my Win 10 Phone. Pictures are enclosed Windows vs. Android App. All the Best Redaktorn

Hi, I currently use emby on a windows server as an internal MediaCenter with Emby for WMC client. 2 users are created - 1 for my kids without any password allowing them to access easily to all the stuff they like through the remote command + TV - 1 for parents with a very simple numeric password that we can enter with the remote control. The idea is to disallow kids to watch films and series that are not for their age Today, I would like to active external access to let friends access my media library from the internet. So I activated Emby Connect which works great. But, as I entered a nat rule in my internet box, It opens access to my server from the outside. So anyone that scan my IP and tries port 8096 is able to access my medias through my kid unrotected user ou through the very simple parent user password. So, I would like to use emby connect but to disallow direct http access on my external public IP adress with kids and parents user (that I still need to be viewable from emby for WMC client. I do not want to enter manually login/pass from my remote commande . Is it possible ? Other Idea : Today, When I use TeamViewer, I do not need to open any incoming nat rule on my internet box to connect my PC from the outside. I do not know how it works but I suppose that my PC has a permanent outgoing https connection to teamviewer cloud that, then, let me connect to it. Would it be possible to have this kind of functionnality in emby ? Emby server would have a permanent connection to the emby cloud that would let emby connect users to connect it. On the other hand, it would not let direct http access on 8096 port for other users ... Thanx

I am using Windows 10 on all my laptops. I have been trying since last night to get Emby on a new laptop. 1 laptop is simply for the main Emby server...it works just fine. Another is my personal laptop and it works just fine through an Emby Connect Account to the main Emby Server. However, this account that I am posting from now...I am trying to get it connected to the main server account and it is not working. It is the new laptop (Windows 10, Dell 3000series) I have taken off my Norton Security Suite and tried everything. No luck. I have enabled and disabled Windows Firewall. I downloaded Emby and installed onto laptop. It connects, just not to my main server. I have also uninstalled it to. When I try to connect and send invites from the main server, I get the email, click the link and get: There was an error adding the Emby Connect account. Have you created an Emby account? Sign up at https://emby.media/connect. Please ensure the Emby account has been activated by following the instructions in the email sent after creating the account. If you did not receive this email then please send an email to apps@.media from the email address used with the Emby account. I have Emby Premiere.

Je n'arrive pas à me connecter sur "Emby Connect" pourtant je suis connecté sur le forum, j ai fait une demande de changement de MDP que j'ai rece par courriel, j ai changer le MDP, essai de nouveau avec courriel / pass et/ou user / pass. Ne fonctionne toujours pas. J'ai vérifié sur mon serveur maison et j'ai bien l'icone qui indique que mon compte est bien lier a Emby Connect. Avec vous des idées ?
