I recently built a HTPC for my parents who have no internet. All is good and I love Emby. The problem I am having is when they launch Emby for media center it does not find the server that is on the very same HTPC. I was able to log in manually, but my parents are elderly and very tech impaired. I wanted to set up a simple one click and "boom" there are the movies and tv shows to choose from. Having them have to go through the manual log in steps every time they want to use emby is sort of making difficult for them something nice I was trying to set up for their entertainment. Any suggestions? I had hoped that once I manually logged them in it would remember the settings...No luck. The main dashboard page showed no in home access url since there is no network connected. Tried binding to a local network address and still no luck. Any help with this would be very helpful. Yes I realize Emby is designed to be used on a network etc, but there should be a way to use it otherwise. Would simply connecting a router do the trick? I mean there would still be no internet, but would that at least establish a network so that emby classic would log in automatically?
