I'm getting a 'this site can't be reached' when I click on the configure button after installing the emby app on my wester digital ex2ultra install.  Tried is on different browsers and after clearing cash, cookies, same result.  I can see the NAS on windows explorer, the app installed, moved files to the NAS without issue.  Everything is inside my network so should not be any firewall issues.  I lost a drive so this is a reinstallation but I don't think that should matter.  Help is appreciated.  Thanks.

Hi there, are you sure Emby Server is running? Can you try rebooting the NAS and then start Emby Server?

I did that a few times, restarted the server, I even uninstalled and reinstalled the emby software.  How can I be certain the emby server is running?

From my research on this, if I go to the http://192.168.50.134:8096 address and the config web site does not come up that means that the emby server is not running.  Since I installed the software without issue and clicked on the config button, I'm not certain why it would not be running.

from the article, emby server location on WD NAS is /mnt/HD/HD_a2/emby, I see three folders on my NAS, movies, tv shows, and music.  This is a view from windows explorer.  I don't see anything that looks like that directory.

@moviesandtv56you will need to ssh into the NAS in order to see the directory. Here are some instructions on how to do that:

@sa2000may also have some tips on this.

Please let us know if this helps. Thanks !

Downloaded WinSCP https://winscp.net/eng/index.php  easy to install, for wester digital ex2ultra you have to activate SSH in the network settings and then set up password is required, make certain you turn off SSH when you are finished with whatever you have to do.  The directory /mnt/HD/HD_a2/emby is there but empty, not certain if that is correct or not.

It should not be empty. 

Can you see the binary files in this path:

/mnt/HD/HD_a2/Nas_Prog/embyserver

Can you see what is in the file and the file date/timestamp (last written to date/time). It should have installs/uninstalls

/tmp/embyserver.log

Have you installed the right package ? there is an OS3 one and OS5 install download

By the way, if you also install putty, you can then use it to get into linux shell and use linux commands to view permissions etc and also check on what processes are running using ps or top

There are two Emby Server downloads for the WD EXT2 Ultra - one is for WD OS version 3 and one is for WD OS version 5 - I expect yours to be on OS 5 as OS 3 was superseded sometime back

When you login to the WD Dashboard, you should be able to see the Firmware version - OS 5 would be Firmware versions starting with 5.xx.xxx

On the Download page - here there are two sets of downloads for Western Digital

The OS5 package for the WD EX2 Ultra is "emby-server-western_digital_ex2_ultra_os5_4.8.10.0_arm.bin"

The OS3 package for the WD EX2 Ultra is "emby-server-western_digital_ex2_ultra_4.8.10.0_arm.bin"

Check that you are downloading the right one for your install

I thought we were supposed to DM server logs for security reasons?

Only raw embyserver log files - ones not downloaded through the Emby Web interface - but in your case there was no emby server log files and the the one I mentioned in /tmp is just a log of installs / uninstalls - do you see any log lines in it that has passwords / public IP address ? should not be

Have you established which download package you used and which firmware version runs on the NAS?

emby-server-western_digital_ex2_ultra_os5_4.8.10.0_arm.bin   correct version installed

Interesting - appears to be under "/mnt/HD/HD_b2/" and not "/mnt/HD/HD_a2/" - don't know if that is specific to some WD NAS'es or some different setup on your NAS

You can copy out the logs folder from 

/mnt/HD/HD_b2/emby/logs

and zip and send me by private message

there is no emby directory in HD_b2

I think this may have something to do with how I set up the drives, let me do some work with that on my end and see if it helps, I'll be back in touch, thanks for your help
