dirtylilfunker 4 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Hi, up until about two days ago my Emby server on Nvidia Shield worked perfectly remotely but now all of a sudden people can't log onto my server. Advises connection failure. I have my Shield connected via ethernet to my router so internal works fine. I've read through your connection troubleshooting page and still can't get it to work again. I've changed nothing in the last few days. The port 8096 has always been forwarded using the IP showing in Emby dashboard. The troubleshooting page asks to check canyouseeme.org. for a matched IP but this isnt the same as my dashboard. The dashboard is the IP of my Nvidia Shield and canyouseeme.org. shows the IP of my router. Any ideas? Thanks DLF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? On your dashboard, are you not seeing two different URLs listed? One should be for Local and one for Remote. If you're not seeing this check your Network menu and make sure you have Remote access turned on. Let us know what you see and what that option is set for.

dirtylilfunker 4 Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Can i just add too the remote (WAN) access URL has now changed to something that looks like a normal IP address whereas the one i've had for the past two days was nothing like a normal IP address, it was much longer with a load of jumbled characters and no dots etc. Is this normal? Could this have been why connections weren't being received. Again i haven't amended any settings; they've just changed on their own.

Happy2Play 8250 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 There are actually several topics recently and can only guess ISPs are doing IPv6 changes on their networks as you are seeing changes between IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Now every time your network sees that change it is dependent on Emby Connect to update also and there is a interval where it will have mismatching information for your true WAN address.
