Emby server in FreeBSD jail fails to register itself

[Henryz 0]

The installation is done in a FreeBSD jail (running TrueNAS 12 but I don't use the plugin)

I follow the instruction from https://emby.media/freebsd-server.html

Everything works fine until I try to activate premier key. I got an error "Emby Premiere key is missing or invalid."

 I check the server log and notice the server cannot register itself.

Here's the error stack trace I paste from the log

System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Protocol not supported (www.mb3admin.com:443)

I'm able to use Curl to access mb3admin.com so it shouldn't be a network or firewall issue.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks

Any update on this? I really need the feature provided only in premier

Issue resolved.

I'd suggest you add this on your FreeBSD installation instruction.

If the emby server is running in Jail, you have to turn on VNET. Otherwise the server can be up running but the registration to mb3admin.com will fail.
