dieffe70 8 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Hi, I use My DDNS function from myqnap cloud link for accessing my nas from outside and this work good except that with Emby free server. My Ip is almost always the same it rarely changes but when this happen I can't connect with Emby from outside, server is unreachable as if the DDNS isn't working good.. but from QNAP admin I can see the new IP is updated correctly and I can reach other services based on DDNS. Emby won't work until I'll come back to my usual IP. It seems that hostname for the NAS work only with original IP. Any idea? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37067 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Hi, did you try configuring the ddns address as your remote address in emby server network settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieffe70 8 Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 Yes sure, otherwise I would not be able to connect from remote. Infact I connect mostly with no issues from anyware via SSL also. But if my router leave the usual IP then Emby it's not reachable anymore from outside, even if my DDNS hostname it's correctly redirecting me to the right IP. This happening only with Emby service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieffe70 8 Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 In Lan settings I've put my DDNS hostname (mynas.myddns.com) in remote address field, and as I said all works like a charm until my IP doesn't change. While QNAP services based on DDNS still continue to work (as expected). Emby it's not reachable from outside until connection swtich back to my usual IP.

Luke 37067 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Does your emby server dashboard display the ddns url as your remote address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieffe70 8 Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 Yes sure. Remote Access WAN shows https:mynas.myddns.com:myport and I can reach it easily. Except when IP changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieffe70 8 Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Emby for Android. Emby for Lg TV. Emby Samsung TV, web browser.. all working like expected but they all stop to work because hostname don't go where it should guess Edited September 16, 2022 by dieffe70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithsrobertson 4 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Have a look at my post to see if that helps: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieffe70 8 Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Well thanks surely your guide is helpful, but fortunately all my DDNS and SSL setup work perfectly. I'm using the qnap natural DDNS service and the built in SSL certificate from let's encrypt. And I can always reach my NAS from wherever. Only with Emby if usual IP is changed I have problem in connecting to server, while other NAS services still are ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieffe70 8 Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 all my devices connect via hostname. That's how I've set first connection. Manual settings of hostname+port then credentials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieffe70 8 Posted October 7, 2022 Author Share Posted October 7, 2022 Actually the IP remained fixed for long time so the issue did not happened anymore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjkiss 21 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I think this is exactly my problem. @dieffe70How do you ensure your IP address stays fixed? Can you walk me through your exact set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
