I seem to have the same issue although what's weird is I can see all servers with Emby Connect on my Android, but not on Xbox. This really wouldn't be a problem, except that there is no way to enter any numbers or letters on the Xbox. The keyboard will not show up so I can't type anything in. Not quite sure I follow. Do you have ports 8096 and 8920 setup in Emby for both local and remote at present? Does the dashbaord show you the correct internal and remote address?

I'm using different port numbers, but yes, they're the same for local and remote. I believe my router is using the same ports too (but can't verify at the moment) as I can access remotely with manual login. And using Emby connect on Android I see all of my servers. On Xbox, a bit of a different issue, and I started a different thread on it, but I'd be fine if my servers were showing when using Emby connect OR if manual login was possible. Unfortunately, there is no way to type anything in on Xbox. So neither option works for me at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBSki 1021 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 One other thought. I changed my port number awhile ago so I could run my beta server on the same machine. Since then, I haven't been able to go back to the default port. I can't access my server remotely if I try using the default port. It seems Emby Connect is holding on to old info. Is there anyway to see what info about my servers is being stored with Emby connect and edit them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 If you change the ports of your server Emby Connect will know this. What is confusing however is looking at the login screen on a device seeing your server. It's hard to tell if it's using EC or a direct login. What I'd suggest is trying the connection and if it fails, remove the server and add it back again. This way if you are directly logging in you can specify the IP (or name) and port used. If you change the port on the server you need to change the ports on your router to match and then you should be fine again. If you want a hand with this let me know and I can remote in and give you a hand with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the list of servers coming from Emby Connect? 7 hours ago, cayars said: What I'd suggest is trying the connection and if it fails, remove the server and add it back again.

So after doing that will my list of servers via EmbyConnect be updated now? 7 hours ago, cayars said: If you change the port on the server you need to change the ports on your router to match and then you should be fine again. Yes, understand, and I believe I have, but I'm just not able to confirm at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Nope, not sure to be honest. I haven't used all the major clients lately so I can't say for certain. What I can say for sure and what my point was is that if you clear out/remove any/all servers showing up on the client you will have no choice but add one back. At this point you can be certain how you set this up. By that I mean setting specific Server IP or domain name and port vs Doing a setup using Emby Connect. Follow what I'm saying? So what I would suggest if the client is in the house is to either allow Emby client to find the server for you or manually add it using the IP and port settings. Then try logging in with the user credentials you have setup on your server. That should be exactly the same as opening a web browser by clicking on the In Home Address URL and logging in that way. If you can do this and login you should be able to on the client as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBSki 1021 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 @cayars So I checked my settings on my router and they are configured correctly. Which leads me back to, "why aren't all my servers showing up via Emby Connect?" I know I can add servers manually, but the point of Emby Connect is to save your servers so you can login easier. Emby Connect is not saving my servers though. How do I fix this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Glad you got that worked out. Just curious, you are running multiple servers behind your home router? Do you have them each setup with different ports opened on the router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every app will save servers you log into regardless of how you connect. This is not a part of Emby Connect at all. The difference is on initial connection and whether you connect via typing in a host address or using a PIN and the Emby login. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, this doesn't happen very often, but you aren't making any sense to me. If I add my Emby Connect username to all my servers, why exactly would that not make it easier to login to all my servers? I honestly don't understand what your point is or why you're disagreeing that Emby Connect makes it easier to login. I know every app will save servers you log in to, but Emby Connect is a single place that saves the servers, not many different clients that saves the servers.

I'm not sure why you felt the need to "clarify". It didn't clarify anything. Emby Connect DOES save your servers. How else would I be able to use it to login if it didn't save my servers? I'm back to, "we're saying the same thing". I really don't think any clarification was needed. I'm guessing that you just don't like my explanation of how Emby Connect simplifies login. So be it, but I don't see how my statement is incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
