Nutts 0 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Emby Server Version 3.0.5621.4 Windows 8.1 Please correct me if I am wrong but having watched a couple of youtube videos that Emby Server should appear as a DLNA device in my XB1 media player, which it does not. so assuming I have everything setup correctly should it? I am able to see my PC in XB1 as a DLNA device (which is running the emby server). I can also use my android phone to connect to my emby server. A DLNA profile exists for XB1 in emby (the default one) I did add a user account to it which is the same as the default account. On my PC I have both an XB1 and an EMBY media device in the devices and printers view. However the Emby device constantly goes greyed out (disconnected) after a period of time. Removing the disconnected device and then adding it seems to be the only way I can get it reconnected. however this does not cause the device to appear in XB1 mediaplayer. I am able to right click a video on my PC and play to XB1. I have read a heap of posts that I could find and I have enabled blast messages enabled remote control If log files would of any use please let me know and how/where to get them from my emby server I am already Nutts but I was hoping to get better this is not helping any thoughts?

Xzener 729 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Have you pulled the plug for 30sec on the Xbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37065 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I have tested this recently and it worked well but I still give it a retest. Generally my experience with Xbox one has been everything working out of the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3745 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) Blast alive messages set In the server. Blast the alive messages really quickly, test it at every second. You can change this later. Then make sure you are signed into your Xbox as a user. This seems to make a difference for me. Edited June 6, 2015 by chef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaves 13 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I tried resetting factory defaults, reinstalling xb1 updates etc still no Emby Device I have tried this on my son's Xbox One, and it worked after I shut down Plex, forgot that was running, but my Emby Server runs on an Ubuntu server, however, knowing Microsoft if yours is on your 8.1 PC have you set up a Homegroup and told it to share certain files/groups with your Xbox. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither does it see my W7 laptop (Media Player)but it see's my son's. Edited June 9, 2015 by geaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
