Trouble Installing emby on QNAP TS-464

[JAKKM 0]

I added the app to my newly installed NAS but when I try opening emby the browser opens to a page that says "This site can't be reached" 192.168.XX.XX:8920 refused to connect. What am I forgetting to do when setting up my NAS/emby?

Port 8920

I'm new to working on with a NAS setup.

Port 8920 is for HTTPS SSL / TLS if you have a certificate. 

If you have not setup SSL / TLS that wont work.

You should use port 8096 that the standart HTTP

Try http://NAS-IP:8096

Thanks, that worked.

How do I force my QNAP to open the 8096 port instead of 8920 when I click on the app?

Hi, you can't. You have to just open the browser to the http address.

Ok, are there any settings in emby or my firewall to secure my system from the outside.

Thanks for help.

Hi, setting up https, using non-default port numbers, strong passwords. These are all good practices.

In order to use SSL, you'll need a domain. You can then use NGINX as Reverse Proxy. Or get a certificate and import it in Emby. You'll find lots of info in the forum for these options.

I use a TS-664, and here's my setup, QNAP native only.

1. Assuming you are using the integrated https://YOUR_DOMAIN.myqnapcloud.com subdomain. Set up myQNAPcloud accordingly on your NAS, get your own certificate and subdomain.

2. Your router: Select an uncommon port, let's say 8734. Forward it to your QNAP, same port. 

3. In the Control Panel, head over to Reverse Proxy, add one for Emby and set it up like this:

4. In Emby, go to the Network settings and fill in your data

This approach will redirect the requests from https://YOUR_SERVER.myqnapcloud.com:8734 to your QNAP http://LOCAL_NAS_IP:8096.
The certificate is handled by QNAP, so no need for messing around with invalid certificates etc (see last option).  
Do not forget to set https and the appropriate port in your Emby client (not 8096, 8734 in this case).
