cayars Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I noticed in your original log the 4.6.7 version was trying to load some 4.7 DLLs. That tells me you most likely had two 2 servers running at the same time on the same ports and one was reading information from the other. To setup a portable version of Emby with a system already running Emby, you want to shut down the existing version, install the portable version, load it, change the ports and close. Now both use different ports and can both be starting and running. You could try this. Uninstall PIA and reboot computer. Don't skip that reboot part. Now reinstall PIA, turn on split tunnel and add only the portable version of Emby. Test, if that works Add you existing/normal Emby and test. That normally fixes this from what I've seen.

That just means he was rolling back and forth between the two versions. Normally we discourage that but I don't think it impacts this particular issue.

Yes that probably happened when I ran the portable version while my normal Emby version was currently running. I had to shut them both down then run the portable version to go through the set up and specify a different port to use than my current version. I can try doing that after I am off work, which is soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to see how your tests go after dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsinFate Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 Unfortunately, that did not change anything. The portable version still shows my VPN IP address while my normal Emby version is correctly bypassing my VPN. Here is my portable Emby log. embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Can you try this? https://www.dropbox.com/s/a5znc1g8g3cqbt7/embyserver-win-x64-4.7.1.0.7z?dl=0 It's 4.7.1 built with the .net 3.1 runtime instead of 6.0. This I think will make it like the 4.6 server because there haven't really been any other changes that would impact the networking layer. This is just a test of course, because we're sticking with 6.0. But I'd like to know the results and then after that I can give you a way to resolve it with the official 4.7.1 build. Thanks.

Luke Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 You can just unzip this over the top of your existing 4.7.1 portable. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I closed, restarted the Emby portable multiple times and after I removed the old entry in my bypass list and added the this version it bypasses the VPN as it is supposed to do. embyserver.txt Edited May 27 by JsinFate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 OK now you can go back to the normal install and then just customize your remote address in Emby Server network settings. That's a last resort because you'll have to make sure to remember that you did that and keep the value up to date if your remote ip changes.

I don't understand, in the installed version 4.6 where do I go to change my IP address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsinFate Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 Do you mean specify my IP address here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Going forwards by itself will be fine, it's the going back and forth that we don't' really test or have answers for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsinFate Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 Okay so if my head has this straight, I can upgrade Emby but just specify my IP address and that should resolve my bypass VPN issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will upgrade later today and add my IP address manually, but as a precaution I'm backing up my entire Emby folder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsinFate Posted June 1 Author Share Posted June 1 I finally had the time (and courage) to try to update so I clicked the Update Now link on the Dashboard. I rebooted and re-opened Emby and I was still at the same version number. I have rebooted the server multiple times from within Emby and from the icon. I even shutdown completely shut it down and I still see "Please restart the server to finish applying updates." I downloaded the installer and tried to install and get the following error. server-install.log embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 Something is holding a lock on the servers system folder. Try shutting down emby server and making sure you don't have the folder open in windows explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
