I've got the same issue (I think.)

My emby server works on my laptop at 'localhost:8096', and looks as if everything is ok but now my android phone cant connect to the server using the emby app. A couple of days ago everything was working fine, no idea why I cant connect now. I've tried restarting* my router, emby server, both laptop and phone, and ive opened the 8096 and 8920 ports on my laptops firewall settings. It still doesn't work.

Hi, try doing a manual connection from the emby Android app by entering the server address manually and see if that helps. Thanks.

Yeah that's what I've been doing, it doesn't work.

OK, I would suggest taking a look at our Connection Troubleshooter:

Please try the steps listed there and let us know which ones succeed and which ones do not. Thanks.

I openned TCP ports 8096 and 8920, I ran an antivirus scan, I don't have any VPN's to disable.

I still can't connect to my emby server from my android device from the same network connection 🤷‍♂️

Can you show us screenshots of how you setup port forwarding?

Is port forwarding necessary for an Internal Connection? I didn't think it was since I never did anything about port forwarding and I've been connecting to my emby server from my phone with no issues for over a year now

You could have a firewall on the server machine that is preventing access from other devices.

As far as I can see everything Emby related is allowed to communicate through the firewall, including ports 8096 and 8920

What did you check?

On the laptop hosting the server:

Control Panel -> Windows Firewall -> Allowed applications

All apps mentioning Emby are allowed, as well as the ports that I opened when I was following the connectivity troubleshooting guide

I would also go through it and make sure there are no blocking rules added.
