notzippy 3 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 I recently setup a new computer on my network and ran into the browser issue where the server could not be found. I looked into that deeper, and traced down an issue in the `emby-apiclient/connectionmanager.js` code. * The site `http://app.emby.media/#!/startup/selectserver.html` requests the list of servers (`https://connect.emby.media/service/servers?userId=XXXX`), and receives the correct list from the host which includes both the external URL and the local URL. * However when the function "connectToServer" is called, the serverInfo object has the LocalAddress as Undefined. Looking further into this I see the following code in the same file return console.log("Begin getConnectServers"), credentials.ConnectAccessToken && credentials.ConnectUserId ? ajax({ type: "GET", url: "https://connect.emby.media/service/servers?userId=".concat(credentials.ConnectUserId), dataType: "json", headers: { "X-Application": "".concat(instance.appName(), "/").concat(instance.appVersion()), "X-Connect-UserToken": credentials.ConnectAccessToken } }).then(function(servers) { return servers.map(function(i) { return { ExchangeToken: i.AccessKey, ConnectServerId: i.Id, Id: i.SystemId, Name: i.Name, RemoteAddress: i.Url, LocalAddress: i.LocalAddres } }) After the network call to get the servers is made, the response is remapped and the `LocalAddress` is assigned to `i.LocalAddres` Note the missing second `s` in `i.LocalAddres`. This I believe is a bug. This is why on first visit a browser cannot navigate to a server on the local network. After you manually add an IP address, emby stores a cookie so the ip address is mapped properly based on the server IP so from that point forward the problem becomes mute. But initially the setup is awkward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Luke 37112 Posted January 4, 2023 Solution Share Posted January 4, 2023 Hi, that's a great find, thanks ! That will be sure to help with connection problems using the hosted web app. For the native apps, it's unlikely to matter because the local address would just end up getting filled in via local network server discovery, but since the web app can't do that, it does matter here. Thanks ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
