fallenczar 3 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Hi, i am having a peculiar problem with my current setup and was hoping to get some help with it. This problem in present in all emby clients that i have tried (android, windows, webapp) My setup is as follows - 1. emby running on UNRAID server - this is on my local network and i usually access this without https (with its ip) as i have not configured a ssl certificate for local access. i can not connect to this servers public domin name on my local network as my router does not support loopback and i need to use a vpn to circumvent this. 2. emby running on OpenMediaVault server - this is a remote server that i would like to access via its public domain name. i can do so if i go to its domain directy emby.example.com. This server is behind a CG NAT and is connected to a VPS via tailscale network. I am running nginxproxymanager on the vps to reverse proxy this and as stated i can connect to the domian directly. 3. i cant use https://app.emby.media to access my local network hence i use http://app.emby.media 4. when i first set up remote server on http://app.emby.media , i can connect to it and play my media without any problem. however when i logout or change servers the webapp does not let me connect to the remote server again. anytime i clink on the remote server to login it instead opens the local servers login page. the only way i can login to my remote server again is if i again add it as a new server. 5. the same problem exist across emby apps.

Luke 37067 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 HI, I don't quite understand the problem. Are you not able to sign in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenczar 3 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 if you see the last two gifs i attached. clicking on OMV opens the sign in page for UNRAID. the only way to sign in to OMV is to add it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37067 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 The gif shows you going the sign in screen and then clicking back, so that's what I don't understand. It doesn't appear you attempted to sign in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkassassin07 423 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 It shows him going to the select server screen, clicking on the server labeled 'OMV' and instead being brought to 'sign in to 'UNRAID' , the name of the other server that's listed. The OMV server option doesn't bring him to the OMV server. It brings him to the other server linked to connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8282 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Does the servers show the correct connection information? Either under server server name or clicking view server info from card menu. I would unlink there connect user and relink them on both servers. But am unable to reproduce as each server connects to their remote location.

Either under server server name or clicking view server info from card menu. Thanks - although on initial inspection the information was correct (Remote (WAN) address was pointing towards the correct remote address), i noticed that Last connection to information pointed to the local ip address. i think i have figured out what was going on and have fixed my issue. Both my servers ( which are geographically apart- UNRAID is the local server and OMV is the remote server) share the same LAN IP address (10.0.0.50) on there respective networks (I did this to make it easier for me to troubleshoot and to use the same bookmars in the browser). Additionally, i was using the default port for both of them. It seems to me that when i connect to the remote server (OMV) it grabs the In-Home (LAN) network IP from it. When i reconnect to it ( say restarting the app or when i click change server) it first tries this LAN IP - and as this was identical to my local server IP (UNRAID), it instead connected to my local server. I have fixed this issue by changing the ports on one of my server. Although i understand that my case could be an edge case, i wonder if the code to recognize when to use remote ip and when to use LAN IP could be improved. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fallenczar 3 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 PSA : if you plan to connect to a local and a remote server, please make sure there LAN IP is not identical 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
