katonag 3 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Is it possible to setup an alternative address for the same emby server in the addon? At home I access the server by its local 192.168.x.x address, however in some cases I would like to access it remotely using ssh port forwarding, which connects through localhost. I would like to have both addresses set, so if the 192.168.x.x is not available, the other is tried automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickmic 1344 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 If you can resolve the webaddress via DNS you could use it as an alternative. Should have the same affect as 2 different IPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katonag 3 Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 What do you mean exactly? I do not want to expose the emby server to public, this is why I plan to use ssh port forwarding. But this method results in a 127.0.0.1:8096 address, but at home the address is like 192.168.1.104. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand, but the web address is not necessarily public. It's just a DNS address. You can modify /etc/hosts file (on Linux, Windows also possible but different location) on any client device and assign a DNS record to any specific IP address. If you don't know what I'm talking about, this "dns approach" is probably nothing for you. (no offense, sophisticated network knowledge required). EDIT: plugin connection stack (simplified): 1st local IP -> if not accessible -> 2nd dns address Edited June 23, 2022 by quickmic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
