ok, can you try this using the chrome browser and visiting 

 

http://app.emby.media

 

Before logging in, open the browser console by right clicking -> inspect, then go through the login process. then can you capture the console output and attach it here? thanks.

Thanks.

Luke,the reason im not able to access the app remotely is i use P.I.A as my vpn. I can't use port 8096 in pia because its already in use. so here is the problem

  when you connect the machine through VPN you are creating a private tunnel.  All traffic at that point is directed through the tunnel thus preventing any non private traffic from connecting. In short it's working exactly like it should.

And since i use torrents over VPN which typically uses random and rotating ports for connections,I'm stuck with having to leave the VPN down in order to access your machine remotely. So i'm just going to get a pia compatable router that lets me host my own vpn to use when i'm out and about and wanna use emby mobile. But,duh i should of known this,thats why i us pia,there awesome.

Well this speaks to connectivity and not an Emby problem. If you can't connect via manual address entry then that means it has nothing to do with Emby Connect.

@ Luke i'm still not able to connect to emby thru the mobile app on my phone,and i got a new router. my question is,i have a option to application forward my vpn. I have 2 options shiva vpn and ssl vpn. would the second choice open the vpn so i can connect? I've tried every address,and Luke when i sent invite for emby connect it never went thru to my email address?

Did you read the post above? You should get the above squared away before trying to use Emby Connect.

Any ideas where i might start?

This is purely a connectivity issue from point a to point b. When you try to connect to an address manually, Emby Connect is not involved. i would simplify by turning off all vpn services and then once things are working, try to put those things back on.

I'm not sure if you've tried this. I will try to give precise instructions:

 

1. Open a web browser on your MOBILE device, for example Chrome.

 

2. Enter "app.emby.media" in the address field. Without the " " of course.

 

3. If asked for username and password, enter them as you would on your computer.

 

4. Does your server appear there? Can you select it and get in?

Yes my server shows,but it only lets me connect to it if i'm on wifi. any idea on how i connect without wifi.?

Hi, sorry if I seemed short......in the process of migrating away from Plex for a very similar issue, so frustration abounds !! Appreciate the work Devs put in. So firstly, relatively new to Emby...but appears similar to Plex. Installed android app on Samsung S7 Edge. All good but app will NOT connect to server no matter what. have read through the posts and attempted the fixes, checked firewall and dropped VPN etc....android app still discovers server but will not connect, throwing error message. Possible dumb question. As I am still checking out Emby I don't yet have a premier pass. Is this a requirement for the Android app to connect with home server?

No.

 

 

throwing error message. 

 

 

And, exactly what does that error message say?

 

If you step through the Connection troubleshooter steps - which step fails?

The error message states that it is unable to connect to the server at this time etc....make sure that the server is up etc...

 

 

The server is up. I attempted to manually input the IP etc  that did not work.

It sounds like you simply haven't enabled the network communications for your server properly.  This is different in everyone's environment.
