michael99 0 Posted October 18, 2023 Author Share Posted October 18, 2023 I started an emby account on my cell phone want to move it over to my Nvidia shield on my TV and it's not working. When I used to do it to Plex Yes I didn't want to say Plex but from my phone to my TV I would just put in a PIN number and it would automatically go over on this one it does not how do I get it to go on my Nvidia shield from my phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3309 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 There's nothing to move over, you setup local user(s) on your server and can connect with same credentials from whichever device you want: cell phone, AndroidTV box, PC, Smart TV, whatever.

Have you either (a) set up your own Emby server to connect to, or (b) been given access to someone else's Emby server, with instructions how to connect to it? The Emby client is no use to you without a server to connect to - the Emby organisation doesn't provide such a server - they are software developers.

Pookeye 1 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 New to emby here, still confused by this as well, my iOS emby app is connected to a server a friend gave me and I’m able to see content no problem, but once I connect to emby via my nvidia shield no servers are displayed. So I added the url and port and then it says error connecting. I’ll try side loading and see if that makes a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mik8451 2 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Could it be that the Device Access user setting on the server has been restricted by the server manager for a user to only allow a single device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pookeye 1 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Sorry, I’ll explain. so I am probably just confused with emby connect, on my nvidia shield, I download emby and it asks for a pin and to go to emby url /pin. I go to url in my phone and sign in, and enter my pin , it says verified, and I click next on my shield. but that’s it, it says to select server or add manually the server that my someone shares with me. I tried to use the url and port and it says error connecting. But clearly it works fine on my phone and my fire tablet. Where I connect and either add server or it already has my server information and I can begin watching content. But for some reason can’t get nvidia shield to connect to the emby server. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pookeye 1 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Ok looks like I needed to type https:// and then the server name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14929 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 So you are all set now? What port number were you entering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
