rkariff 1 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Hello. I am trying to access my library on my Kindle Fire. I want to access the http://localhost:......web/index.html page with all the visual elements. I attempted to access the URL on my Kindle & I received an error message stating: Webpage not available The webpage at http://localhost:......web/index.html could not be loaded because: The server refused the connection. I wasn't sure if I was missing something. All help is appreciated. Thanks.
Redshirt 1487 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 localhost only resolves if your on the same physical machine as the server. You'll need to replace localhost with the server IP address. so something like http://192.168.0.10:8096
rkariff 1 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Posted September 12, 2014 How do I find the server IP address? Sorry if that's a newbie question. I've just never messed with IP addresses before. Thanks.
Redshirt 1487 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 open a command prompt. (Win key + R. Then type cmd in the dialog box). Once the command window is open, type ipconfig. The window will display several network adapters. Ignore any that are labelled Tunnel adapter. Your looking for the IPv4 address. put that value in place of localhost and you should be OK.
rkariff 1 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Posted September 12, 2014 Okay. I got 192.168.0.100. I entered it into Chrome. I got a directory of everything that would be displayed. Index of / .... Is there any way that I can load up the actual web user interface?

Is there any way that I can load up the actual web user interface? You did IPconfig on your server though, right? If so, then try: http://192.168.0.100:8096/mediabrowser
Redshirt 1487 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 If that is the correct address. The the url you should be using in the browser (assuming you haven't changed the MB port) is http://192.168.0.100:8096/mediabrowser
rkariff 1 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Posted September 12, 2014 It worked! Thank you so much! Now if only there was a way to transcode it so that my huge files, meant for a large TV, would load quickly in a small browser.
