Can't Connect to Emby Server

[AdityaBerchha 0]

I have been using Emby for 1-2 years, but now I am facing an issue connecting to the server. I have run the Emby software on my PC, but still, I am unable to connect. When I click on 'Browse Library,' it shows 'This Site Can't be Reached.' I don't understand what to do

So this is it right here. Something is blocking the server from binding to the http port. Have you tried rebooting the machine?

Running the server as admin may resolve it, but I would only do that once to test and not run it like that all the time.

yes I did tried rebooting the machine, and I have also tried reinstalling emby, and I have also tried running it as admin, but still it's the same.

[AdityaBerchha 0]

Hey, sorry to bother you, but I tried rebooting the machine again and this time it worked, and my server is working again

That's great to hear. Thanks for following up.
