Subxeno 2 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 No matter what I set my password to, when I login it fails, then says I have 3 failed login attempts from Arizona(I don't live in Arizona nor do I use a VPN...Starlink issue maybe?) so I can't log in at all..

Happy2Play 8295 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Admin will probably need the affected account name as you are logged in with a different account now correct? @Abobader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subxeno 2 Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 (edited) I should have specified sorry, when it asks me for my log in information at https://app.emby.media/ is when it does it. I'm currently logged in right now to the website. I'm trying to set up the server and everything still. And another issue, even when I skip signing in to just connect to the server, it says unable to connect. I'm putting in the IP and Port that it says on my Dashboard.

Happy2Play 8295 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 To me that sounds like you do not have user remote access configured. As if you are logged in here it is not a username/password issue. You are able to login locally correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the exact message when it says unable to connect? Usually it win have a suggestion of what to do so please try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subxeno 2 Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 (edited) I'm trying to sign in at https://app.emby.media/#!/startup/manuallogin.html It just says Invalid username or password. Please try again.

Happy2Play 8295 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 And are you connecting to your server or someone elses? Does a site like canyouseeme.org show Emby ports open? Are you able to connect to your server via WANIP:port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subxeno 2 Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 (edited) False alarm, it looked like it let me sign in, but when I try to connect to my server on my TV it says unable to connect. Every single port I type into canyouseeme, literally any port including 8096 and 8920 says "Error could not see you" "Reason: Connection timed out" I've went into my firewall settings and made sure to open both ports. I'm using Starlink which seems to potentially be an issue, you can't port forward with Starlink for example In the app on my computer I can actually watch everything, but when I try to connect on my TV it says can't connect. I was having a similar issue with Plex, so that's why I decided to try out Emby. Plex was not working for me a couple months ago when I had regular cable internet either though, so I'm not sure it's just a Starlink problem, though it just randomly stopped working out of nowhere for no apparent reason. And it just occurred to me that maybe a week ago Plex was working here on Starlink....Then suddenly it stopped working again....I am seriously confused. I kept getting an error that said "Not available outside your network"...But I am literally 15 feet from my tv....at home...On the computer I set it up with..

If the clients are on your LAN I would question using Connect at all. Only client I have is Roku or computer and only uses LAN address when connecting all in Home devices. But yes it sounds link a starlink network issue as you would have to do other things if you can't port forward as I would think they are a CGNAT.

Subxeno 2 Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 It simply says unable to connect and provides links to help articles. Most likely my issue is Starlink as Happy2Play mentioned it is CGNAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lessaj 61 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Your TV is on your local network though isn't it? So you should be skipping emby connect and using the LAN address. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everything is on the local network then remote access isn't needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subxeno 2 Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 (edited) Regardless it's not working. I can't connect on Emby nor Plex, Emby just says cannot connect no matter how I try to do it, Plex says I can't connect because I'm "remote"...But I'm at home... My TV is on Wifi and my computer is on Ethernet if that matters. Edited April 19 by Subxeno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37093 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Do you know the local LAN ip address of your server machine? I would find that out. Then do a new server connection in the Emby TV app by manually entering the server address. Please see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subxeno 2 Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 (edited) Yes it's the Ipv4 address yes? When I put that into my TV, set the port to 8096, it says unable to connect. I've tried disabling my firewall completely as well to see if maybe that was it, it still doesn't work for me. When I had Suddenlink at my old address I never had a single issue whatsoever using plex, when I moved about 2 hours away it worked for a week, then stopped working for 6-7 months...Then randomly started working again...When I moved again about 30 minutes away, it worked for about a week...Then randomly stopped working again.

Luke 37093 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 OK so if this is all in your local network then port forwarding and router setup shouldn't matter so much. What I would focus on is the server machine. Something is likely preventing the device from reaching the server machine, which usually means firewall on the server, e.g. windows firewall.

Happy2Play 8295 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Don't know TV app setup options but can't you bypass Connect altogether via Skip somewhere? There is no need to even try to Connect login. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subxeno 2 Posted April 19 Author Share Posted April 19 (edited) @Happy2PlayOmg...It was AVG's Advanced Firewall this whole time! I can't figure out how to create the Exception for it, it's not as simple as just choosing the program to allow, it wants the address and port and stuff. I'm just going to leave it off for now. Thank you both for all of your help I greatly appreciate it. Idk why the avg firewall seemed to work fine with it then not randomly, but I'm just letting windows defender do its thing for now lol Edited April 19 by Subxeno 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But until I found Tiny Firewall, free and light weight.... and simple to use! Just put in learning mode... and do your thing, when done... set it to normal. The only firewall who blocks and let you control everything! Hope it will helps you in the future to find a balance between security and connectivity.... https://tinywall.pados.hu/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
