External viewing consistently stopping working until I re-start server

[Ghunter91 0]

Hi, 

I am having to restart my Emby server every time I want to watch remotely. I have DDNS set up, the port forwarding is set up. Yet, majority of the time I want to connect outside of the home, I have to remote into my NAS, restart Emby for it to come online. 

I set a reboot schedule for my NAS daily hoping that would resolve, but unfortunately no.

Everything locally works as it should. 

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, what exactly happens?

Hi Luke, 

I am honestly not 100% sure. There's never any obvious errors on any part of my network. 

When I try and test, I turn my wifi off, close out of emby on my device and try and connect, it just spins until it takes me to the server selection menu and it does not work via my DDNS address, IP address, or trying to login in with username or password. Again, all issues resolve as soon as I restart the Emby Server. 

I can reach my TNAS via the DDNS fine, and my other application set up, so all my port forwarding and DDNS connections are working as expected from all apps that use it. It seems to be only Emby that keeps cutting out. 

I did have a suspicion it may have been the security features on my Netgear nighthawk router, but they are completely disabled now and the problems persist.
