Emby For Kodi Next Gen not detecting server

[rfsimoes 1]

Hello everyone.

I've been using version 10.0.X from plugin. Everything was working fine. Until it wasn't.

I don't know if it was something on version 10.1.X or not. But now I can't. My addon doesn't find my server anymore.

Already tried deleting kodi and installing everything again.

I have my server connected via ethernet and my shield connected via Wifi. I don't know if this is causing the issue now, but before it worked like this.

I attached the logs.

I can see that emby detects my tv somehow (it's also connected via wifi):

Thank you for the help. I don't know if I have to enable anything server-side for this to work. I don't remember if I did it previously. I don't think I did. but still, if I need to check something let me know.

Well, auto server detection is not always successful and I can see in the log it -> EMBY.emby.emby: Found Servers: []

Could have multiple reasons, Firewall, timeouts what ever.

Use manual connection mode.

btw, not version specific.

Hello.

The issue was in my firewall.

For some reason I got a second embyserver.exe in there with blocked accesses.

Hey, I would like confirmation on this issue. Many times when I start Kodi,  the addon notification says "Emby server offline" even though it is online. Then, I have to manually add server by going to addon -> Add server.

Is this what you are talking about 'auto server detection is not always successful '? If yes, then it doesn't work for me most of the time(70%). Could you give me some suggestions if there is something wrong on my end or is this normal ?

Thanks.

Do you use https? I found an instability issue for https and will be fixed in next 12.X version. However, not sure it's related to the issue you reported.
