I'm having an issue after installing on my synology. If I log onto emby via my internal network it registers my premiere key from the settings and I have full access to my libraries etc. However, if I log into my server remotely using either the direct remote IP/port, emby connect, or my synology reverse vpn, I get the banner to Get Premiere to access full features. only happens in the web access as well. android app seems fine. https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeVulNbTA8kEUOrgIzeQVvyrmg9waahbvFDu2dLTO0Fp_0GD-DbCdyDZYTf4f1dvHa-vmZIxMEV9ZD-genDJlnQyc28e6RflxZOp-bAQErtCFUoYgkkoDADst1nWmsbkrueF0kY6Q?key=L4sHm_UIcMUcc0z50rpxWom9

perhaps this already exists and I haven't found it? There is an Android app that allows one to WiFi remote control iTunes/Music, locally. It's called Retune. If one is running iTunes as their music "server" locally on a Mac, you can remote control within the WiFi range. It is fairly simple in that allows previous/next song, mute and volume control, within iTunes. It allows you to see the library, history and up next. Since Apple f'kd up iTunes with the "update" to Music, many have dropped it. I only use Emby for music playback. Since iTunes/Music is part of the OS and Emby is a 3rd party, perhaps this isn't possible? But it sure would be handy when playing music on the home system to have a Android remote with these features. IE: dinner in and hard rock comes on and I'd like to skip to the next tune without getting up to go to the server Mac.

I have done so many google searches and all I find is old posts about either photo uploads or setting up ftps or ssh. Also I find it funny that most posts say there just is not enough interest to add it (granted they are old) but there are a lot of requests and replies asking. I got hacked recently fo those are off the table and I do not use for photo. I am just trying to see if there is a way to remotely upload video content when not on my home network. It happens so often that I get videos when not home and have to wait, sometimes days, to get home and SMB them into the library. There has to be a way to log in when not at home to upload as well as attach said eppisode to the correct season remotely. Please let me know.

hello guys, i suddenly can't access my emby server from external networks. in my home local network i can just go into my app and watch everything. Closing my wifi on my phone for example dont let me connect to my emby server anymore. I cant connect to my emby server from my girlfriends house for example over the android tv app for the nvidia shield. my server is running on Western Digital My cloud PR4100 and was on version 4.8.0.29 beta i updated it to version 4.8.0.37 beta but it didnt solved my problem sadly. Same goes for my Router Speedport Hybrid. It stopped working arround Wednesday / Thursday

I’ve got a strange server connectivity problem that affects the ability of Emby to update Metadata for library entries. I’ve explored the Emby forums and tried various fixes but can’t find a solution hence this post and request for ideas that might help. The Emby server [4.7.11.0] runs on an Ubuntu Server [22.04.1 LTS] connected to my LAN, Router and ISP. My ISP doesn’t offer inbound connections so, as is, I’m unable to access my Emby server remotely. To overcome this problem I use a VPN connection to the internet, with a dedicated domain name, which allows me to access the server remotely. The basic setup works fine. I can access the server locally from my LAN and remotely using the dedicated domain name/VPN. The problem is that when the VPN connection is running on the server Metadata updates on the server don’t work. All other features viewing/streaming content work but Metadata updates fail. If I stop the VPN connection on the Ubuntu server so the Emby server just sees the LAN and standard ISP connection then Metadata updates work normally. For the remote connection, the Emby server connects via an Nginx reverse proxy and Openvpn. I’ve followed the guidance elsewhere in the forums on using Nginx and remote connections [e.g. https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/93074-how-to-emby-with-nginx-with-windows-specific-tips-and-csp-options/] and I’ve tried with both secure [https] and non-secure [http] remote connections. The problem remains the same. I’ve attached a copy of the Emby server log showing examples where Metadata updates fail. I’d be grateful for suggestions of any further things I might to do resolve this problem. Many thanks. embyserver.txt

Hey guys, I was previously able to connect remotely, I have upgraded my phone in the last 6 months, but I was sure I'd connected since then. In any case; - ports forwarded on router. - remote connections enabled in emby settings. - installed port mapper plugin / restarted. - toggled port mapping on and off / restarted. Still no dice. Any ideas? The log is empty during the periods on mobile / off WiFi, no attempted connections logged. Screenshots attached.

DSD dsf File Support for Emby Direct Play on Sony Blu-Ray UBP-X700 using DLNA and Remote App
thashisho posted a topic in DLNA
Hello everyone, I'm having trouble playing/streaming dsf music/audio files from Emby DLNA to my Sony Blu-Ray UBP-X700 using remote apps on my iPhone (mainly three: mConnect, 8Player Pro, and nPlayer Plus). Using the Twonky server, I have no issues what so ever direct streaming DSD dsf files to my UBP-X700 and from there playing it on my YAMAHA receiver which indicates its a DSD stream and plays it perfectly, even Multichannel DSD dsf files play perfectly with full surround. I don't even touch anything in terms of configurations in Twonky. With Emby, this does not work. On my remote apps, it sees the Emby DLNA server perfectly with no issues. If I choose to play mp3 AC3 or even dts files, everything plays with no issues, however if I choose to play a DSD dsf file, I get an error message "device sent an error response" and "Open command failed" depending on the Remote app I use. So, is there support to play DSD dsf files this way from Emby??!! I'm sure that it can be done, but how?? I would like to use Emby and I'm already on Premium and have come across some people on the Internet who successfully done that and be able to stream DSD dsf files over Emby's DNLA. I even seen a review about that somewhere on the net. I would appreciate it if I can get an answer please. -
I have had my server running perfectly for about 3 months now, able to connect anywhere in the world and from any device via my domain name emby.XXXX.com on port 8096. However, today I went to connect remotely and was met with Connection Failure messages from all devices. I checked my network settings and the Dashboard shows that everything is still looking correct on the server side. What I've tried: Removing my custom domain, and connecting directly to my public IP address Changing the port # Checking to make sure the port is visible from out yonder (it is) Confirming that my domain has an A Record entry point at my emby server Restarting Emby Restarting Windows Tried on 4 different devices, 1 from a different state Connecting to my local IP address from on my own network (doesn't connect) If on the Dashboard I click the "LAN" link, it'll open Emby in Chrome. If I click the "WAN" remote link, it opens to a could not connect page. The only way to connect to my server is from the PC running it, or from it auto detecting on in-network devices. Thoughts?

I have an Emby server (4.4.2.0) running on macOS Catalina. I have several users defined in the server. The server is accessible within my home network (via HTTP) and over the Internet (via HTTPS). Most ion my users have passwords defined but I have one, which is the 'family' user which is intended only for use within our home and so has no password defined. For this user I have unticked the box that says 'Allow remote connection to this server' but when I access the server remotely a ) The user still shows on the login screen b ) Clicking the user logs it in. This seems like quite a big security hole? Am I misunderstanding what the 'Allow remote connections to this server' option is supposed to do? How can I have a user that shows up on the login screen when accessed locally but does not show up and cannot log in when accessed remotely? Thanks, Chris

I am in need of some help. I have tried to get my remote connection going with no luck. I have port forwarded, turned off all firewalls, dmz my computer and still no luck. I do have a isp modem/router connected before my router but I have that setup in passthrough mode. I am not really sure to go from here. I did have the server worked but recently moved it onto a new pc. Thanks ahead of time.

Hi, I'm using the Emby Theater for Windows. I love it. Only gripe is regarding the ability to Pause Music. Videos work perfectly, using a keyboard if I press Play/Pause then the movie pauses, and starts playing again. When I'm playing music if I press Play/Pause then it restarts playing the current song and deletes all others from the queue. If I use the mouse to hit the pause button then it works as expected. Could you plesae make a modification to make the Play/Pause in Music function the same as with Videos? I'm hoping to introduce Emby to our customer base and this is the main flaw. Thanks, Steve

So, I've got a baffling issue. I cannot remotely connect to the MB server I have running on a Windows 10 machine. I've tried all suggestions on the connectivity page. But even with the firewall temporarily off, I cannot connect. Local connections work fine. I don't have access to router settings due to the apartment complex having all the routers locked down (whitelist probably). But I even tried using my mobile hotspot and no dice. Canyouseeme reported no response on port 8096 or 8920 using either internet service. I even tried each connection again with a VPN (PIA) turned on on the host machine, though I didn't expect any good results from that.

Hi all, I am having an issue whereby I am unable to connect to my Emby Server remotely when using a domain. I have a SSL certificate that is correctly associated with the domain and works as it should. I have port forward setup on my router, and as a test I have used the external IP of my router as the external domain and this worked correctly and allowed me to access remotely. I've taken a log to show that it accepts the connection via the external IP as the external domain. If you require any further information please let me know. Thanks, Michael

My Emby server is Version 4.2.1.0 on a Mac Mini. I keep Emby player open on the Mac Mini and remote control the player using the player app from various other devices -- my Android phone, and Android tablet, my Macbook, my wife's PC laptop. About once a week or so, when I click the "Play On" icon on a remote player, nothing shows in the list of available players to control. It just says "Play On" with nothing below it. If this happens on, for example, my phone, I'll go to my MacBook and try from there but get the same result. In other words, it affects all players on all devices when it happens. Library content from the server is still visible and playable locally on that device. The way I've found to "fix" it is to VNC into the Mac Mini (it's headless) and change the focus of the active apps -- if Emby player is the front-most active window, I'll click on the desktop to make the Finder active, then click Emby to make it active again. If Emby isn't the front-most window, I'll bring it to the front. Basically any change to the focus of Emby player on the server fixes it. Thoughts? thanks

Does anyone have irTrans working in linux for Emby Theater? I have a living room htpc running emby server in a Zalman HD160 case that has IrTrans receiver remote built into it. IrTrans with the MCE remote has worked well for me in Windows 7 Media Center and Emby Media Center Classic, but it is time to retire Win7 MCE. IrTrans and the remote does work for Emby Theater for Windows, but I'm trying to avoid Win 10 bloat and its random rebooting for forced upgrades. So I'd like to shift to a Ubuntu htpc using Emby Theater to replace MCE in the living room, then possibly Docker after I get things debugged. Biggest stumbling block so far has been getting irTrans and the MCE remote to work in Emby Theater for linux. I downloaded the linux IrTrans drivers and installed them. Irtrans' irserver works in test mode, recognizing the MCE remote button presses. I then installed it as a service and made sure it starts. I configured a apps.cfg [*] section to translate buttons to keypress for emby-theater, as I had done in windows and as suggested elsewhere here. However, it does not work; no keypresses seem to be forwarded to the emby-server process [of which there are many]. File permissions on apps.cfg are set to a+r, so that shouldn't be the issue. Any chance anyone can help solve this Ubuntu/irTrans/remote issue?

Can one change the 30 second skip forward/10 second backward times Emby Theater skips forward or backward when those buttons (or alternately the left/right buttons) are pressed on the remote? (or corresponding keys on keyboard?) Background: Using Win7 MCE, I was able to change those buttons time to 15 seconds forwards and 7 seconds backward (my preferred amounts for watching football, which is one of the few shows I still watch in the Living Room). I'm now thinking of finally transitioning to Emby Theater & Emby Server LiveTV due to the Windows 7 EoL and no more MCE Guide after next week. I've been testing ET on my MCE box to see what might work after years of a stable system (Thanks Luke & team!). Looking at going to a Linux htpc install with ET vs Win 10 with either ET or the MCE port. I did look through the github source code for Emby Theater to see if I could spot an easy fix, but I think the number of seconds might be server determined? It appeared that it just got a new URL with a new seek time passed to it. (If so, perhaps this is more appropriate as a server feature request?)

How does my ISP see my outgoing network traffic? Do they see the actual music titles? Movie titles? and Podcast titles? Or is it just file type information that they see. I have about 15 users. 5 of them are in my house, 7 of them are scattered around the country and a few are in different corners of the world. I'm probably streaming about 10-15 hrs a day to various users mostly HD content. I don't have an SSL cert setup yet and wondering if I should if my ISP is snooping on my data. Thanks!

Remotely connecting to a PC's Emby server without disabling the VPN.
Whippix posted a topic in General/Windows
The PC that I have set up an Emby server on uses Mullvad VPN often, but not always. My goal is to be able to watch the server's media files through other devices, no matter if the VPN is active or inactive. When the VPN is active, the connection fails. When the VPN is inactive, the connection succeeds. Mullvad allows port fowarding, and I've read a few guides on that, as well as the Connectivity Wiki for Emby but am still having trouble, either because I don't quite understand how it works or because the guides weren't specific enough for my issue. So far, I have only tried to connect through a Fire Stick and it works only when the VPN is inactive. If the VPN is on, entering either the LAN and WAN address still gives a connection error. Emby Connect has connected my user account to the server, but the server still does not show on the app after entering the pin. I appreciate any suggestions that you can give. -
Not sure if there is a way to do this, but if I am watching an episode, is there a button on the remote I can press to go back to the Emby Home Screen, rather than having to keep pressing return to get back to it

Hello everybody. Recently I have moved my Emby server from local install on DietPi (Emby version was 4.2.0.40) to Docker (Emby version is 4.3.0.26 now). After this change, I cannot pause video, fast forward, rewind or continue watching. Before the switch to docker the functionality was present. I am using Samsung TV to open Emby over DLNA. Does anybody have an idea why this is happened and how to fix it? I have tried to run Emby in Docker with host network and with bridged network options. Result is the same. Thanks, Aleks.
