  1. NGINX and emby Config Version 1.0.4 Last Update 1-1-2024 Update by Pir8Radio Why Use NGINX reverse proxy ahead of my application servers like emby? With NGINX or any reverse proxy ahead of an application server you have more control over your setup. You can do things the application servers were not built to handle, have better control over your security and logging, replace lines of code without editing the application server code, better control of caching, etc, etc.... One of the main reasons is so that you don't have to open a new port on your firewall for every application server you host, all you really need to open is 80 & 443 and the internet can reach all of your different servers through one entrance. Will NGINX work on my OS? Most likely, you can find various versions of NGINX for most OS's and they come in different flavors, with options baked in, or just the bare NGINX that you need to compile. See below for download links to get you started. Will NGINX break things on emby? Absolutely if you don't configure it correctly! I HIGHLY suggest when choosing a scheme to setup your domain URL you choose SUB-DOMAIN and NOT sub-directory, more below. Also if you come to the emby forum with things not working, or issues you have and you use a Reverse Proxy, PLEASE make sure that is one of the first things you mention in your forum post. ESPECIALLY if emby works on one platform or client, but not another. So many times people complain "but it works on chrome, so I didn't think it was the reverse proxy". Mention you have a Reverse Proxy please. If the reverse proxy is setup correctly it should be totally transparent to the user and the application server (emby). I'm not going to go into how to purchase and setup a domain name. Lots of how-to's on that out there. Once you have a domain name and its pointed to your IP address, you can go to that domain name and hit your server then continue on.... Sub-Domain vs Sub-Directory: Lets say your domain name is: domain.com there are two main ways you can direct traffic from the internet to your backend application servers like emby. One is sub-directory, something like domain.com/emby or domain.com/other-server This is doable in nginx, but there are some catches and you need to know how your reverse proxy and application server work in detail.. This often breaks different features in emby and other application servers.. To keep with our "Totally Transparent" goal sub-directory doesn't work well, it requires a lot of rewriting and work-arounds to make it work smoothly, if you choose sub-directory you will run into issues you will need to address. The other option is Sub-Domain, this is the cleanest, most transparent, easiest to setup and maintain, it's also what I highly suggest you setup. A sub-domain looks like: emby.domain.com or other-server.domain.com The below config is based on Sub-Domain I will include a sub-directory example as well. NGINX Downloads: Official nginx downloads(LINUX): nginx.org Official nginx downloads(Windows): nginx.org WINDOWS users I suggest this version: nginx-win.ecsds.eu download links are at the bottom of the page. This Windows version has lots of cool features compiled into it already, and is optimized for windows. They keep up with updates, its a FREE (for non-commercial) third party build that I highly recommend. Additional Links: Content Security Policy info (CSP) (For Advanced Users): A CSP WILL break your server if you don't know what you are doing, I suggest reading up, lots of googleing, and understand what a CSP's function is and is not prior to venturing into this area Example NGINX Reverse Proxy Config: 3-29-2020 - ADDED A LINE FOR CLOUDFLARE USERS SO THAT THE X-REAL-IP HEADER IS CORRECTED.

    Playback Error

    @pir8radio @pwhodges thanks for trying to help me I have converted Let’s Encrypt to work with emby directly without using Nginx Cer add to emby setting surf to my server and now working without any warning from the browser about the Certificate .. and the video payed as well. ok now when I try with the emby app, the video still give me an error. So it is not related with Nginx ... there is an issue with the app itself @Luke this issue only I have with Galaxy Note 5 The device is Galaxy Note 5 Android 7.0 emby 3.2.56 Server emby 4.7.5.0 (Ubuntu Linux 20.04.4) log file is attached please note that I have replace my domain name and IP to my_domain.com and my_ip on the log file Many Thanks embyserver.txt
  3. Continuing with this topic, I want to share my current working Apache reverse proxy setup. Before Nginx users kill me, let me say that I prefer Apache because i'm used to it (I know Nginx is better in reverse proxy scenarios), I find it simpler, I have a Nextcloud server running in the same machine and here they recommend using Apache instead of Nginx, even if i'm not using it for an enterprise deployment. At the moment, i'm having 0 issues with any App (Web, TV, Android, iOs, etc.), the chrome console is clean without any error when connecting through the Web App. My apache is redirecting all traffic including the websocket traffic. I use my server with a CNAME of my domain, so that's why I don't locate it in "/emby" location, I do it in "/". This is my apache .conf file for Emby reverse proxy (located at /etc/apache2/sites-available): <IfModule mod_ssl.c> <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName cname.domain.com ServerAdmin youremail@address.com RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =cname.domain.com RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,QSA,R=permanent] </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:443> ServerName cname.domain.com ServerAdmin youremail@address.com <proxy *> AddDefaultCharset off Order Allow,Deny Allow from all </proxy> ProxyRequests Off ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass "/embywebsocket" "ws://127.0.0.1:8096/embywebsocket" ProxyPassReverse "/embywebsocket" "ws://127.0.0.1:8096/embywebsocket" ProxyPass "/" "http://127.0.0.1:8096/" ProxyPassReverse "/" "http://127.0.0.1:8096/" SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/cname.domain.com/fullchain.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/cname.domain.com/privkey.pem Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf </VirtualHost> </IfModule> As you can see I'm using Let's Encrypt certificates. As @@curtisghanson said here, I also have an "A" in Qualy SSL Labs: Well I was scared of the performance but It's true that the maximum concurrent users I have are around 5-20, it's little. This is the server usage when 7 users are connected playing content at the same time (all my content is Direct Played): And that's all, hope you liked it and find it useful! Any improvement to the Apache conf file is welcome. Edit: Forgot to say thanks to @@fc7 who was the man that did all this possible .

    NGINX - troubleshooting

    I just got a new router, which means my server has moved from local IP 10.0.x.x to 192.168.x.x. I added exactly the same port-forwarding rules to the new router that I had in the old router, changed the local IP address in the NGINX config, restarted NGINX and...it doesn't connect. The domain gets a CloudFlare 524 error. My IP address followed by ports 80, 443, 4343, 8920 and 7241 fails. My IP address followed by port 8096 succeeds. This doesn't make any sense. I have Emby's ports in the network config set to 4343 for secure and 7241 for non-secure. CanYouSeeMe.org can only see me on port 8096. NGINX isn't jumping in front of any of the attempts at direct-IP access, which from memory it's supposed to.

    Fast forward support

    OK, why is the Fast Forward and Rewind missing on the Fire TV, Android, etc. app? Netflix has it, Kodi has it, Hulu has it, Amazon has it..... I could go on and on. I know I can skip, etc. but as a user I do not want to tell my wife, my kids every flipping time how to do it. These are media playing standards fellas.
  6. Last night I updated both Emby and mono to versions 3.1.0 and 4.6.2.7. Since then I'm not able to access Emby from the internet, through an Apache reverse proxy, anymore. I can access the webclient without any issues within the LAN but if I try the same from the internet via the proxy I get this: 0 0 HTTP/1.1 200 OK X-UA-Compatible: IE=Edge Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, Authorization, Range, X-MediaBrowser-Token, X-Emby-Authorization Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH, OPTIONS Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Vary: Accept-Encoding ETag: "4a131dd81c597e10d17c1a65ab8851f4" Cache-Control: public Content-Encoding: deflate Expires: -1 Server: Mono-HTTPAPI/1.1, UPnP/1.0 DLNADOC/1.50 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2016 17:41:38 GMT Content-Length: 789 VMs0WsR(=NYĢd$9iڂgKVU,\-I*9?phy*nlD$Uk?< HMyY@<Q~5bGBW5uRZ9P..!gR[JVOUA ZiSQsp*@B]jCRei]KgĎq)֥CF&4Ll~S"pNTt' 2n2 q1tE҂=aT$..x awJ^i)֏a6<s'|l 7O47F0i N*p̈ ZƐwCӨq#>sxfv:z7gGA!GtX0o\_ZaXt6&ɿkv>Ё'XiXT|f֦?{I@-XH{\My.6{Rr=C+BϦ3J%ݢR&ɧ8%P*F '*fS?KIv]$+4o0.6wݹc.*0ь׏#F7?p[0WTz(R "vB~Wr0"{} V}-:W>'h?YW[lzp{"bj}{ h݉r65N5~wb/V`Ǖcv- And that's all. Trying to refresh the page, it will keep loading forever. Before the upgrade I took a VM snapshot so I went ahead and roll back and everything went back to normal. I will provide the server log as soon as possible. Thanks.
  7. Hi, I've set up my Emby-server with "HTTPS using reverse proxy" using the "Setting up SSL for Emby (WIP)" guide. My question is: How can I switch between my LAN IP-address 192.168.1.20:8096 if I'm at home and my https: // emby.domainname.com:443 address if I'm on the road (using the Android-app)? Manually adding the other address for the same server doesn't seem to work? Thanks!
  8. After updating to latest Emby stable version 3.0.5781.8, I can no longer login to the server while connecting from the Internet through an Apache SSL reverse-proxy, as I was before the update. The login screen doesn't finish to load and any attempt to manually login will result in a "Invalid username or password error". My setup is very specific so I would like to detail it in case it helps to narrow down the actual issue: Webclient ==> Internet (SSL) ==> Apache Reverse-Proxy (SSL Termination) ==> LAN (no SSL) ==> Emby Server On top of it I'm also authenticating clients using basic auth against the proxy. This means, that before anything gets to Emby, the proxy will request a username and password to the client. Until last update this worked flawlessly. The client will connect, the proxy will request for a username and password and once provided the connection will go on as normal. After yesterday's upgrade, this is not the case anymore. The client will connect, the proxy will request for a username and password and once provided the connection will go on and parts of the web will load as normal but other parts, will fail with a 401 response from the proxy server (unauthorize request). My default browser is Firefox (v43) but I also tried with a different browser, Midori, based on webkit. With Midori I'm able to connect and login as usual. I'm a little bit lost. I don't know if the problem is the browser, the new version of Emby and the changes in the webclient or something else. As I said before, this setup was working flawlessly until I upgraded Emby.
