rendez2k 0 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Hi folks, I'm running Emby (with Premiere key) on a server, in other words, its not on the same network as my iOS devices. How do I register the app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rendez2k 0 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 As far as I can see, its all logged in. App just keeps asking me to purchase :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceboy 2494 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 i believe you have to be on the same network in order to purchase the app. once purchased you can do what you like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendez2k 0 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 So, if my server is not on my home network (which it isn't) the app is never going to register is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legallink 187 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I think that is right, however there are work arounds. For instance, you could VPN into the server to appears as if you are on the same network. I believe Luke is looking at trying to find a different solution, but I don't know any timeline on that.

ebr 14925 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 It just has to get connected on the local lan once right now and we are working on rectifying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendez2k 0 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 So sorry if I'm being dim here. My sever is online so how do I get that to communicate with the app on my local network? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14925 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The device needs to be attached to the same network as the server (via wifi and not cellular). Once this happens it should recognize the Premiere status and save that so that you can then access it away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rendez2k 0 Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 I can authorise my local server, but it seems its a per-server authorization and I can't think of a way to authorize the app using a cloud-based server. Really annoying but it looks like I might have to buy the app. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14925 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 You have your Emby Server running on a cloud account (like a linnode or other hosting account)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty87a 6 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Is there any update on this for remote servers? I have emby installed on a remote ubuntu server, i signed up for premiere through the iphone app which worked fine - but when i set the server up on additional devices it asks me to connect to the server lan. I have tried connecting via VPN but this doesn't work either. I'd really rather not have to buy the app for all of the devices that will be connecting - as my wife uses a different apple ID purchasing the app on one device will not share it will all devices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixshooterz 1 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 It just has to get connected on the local lan once right now and we are working on rectifying that. I personally am hoping this gets rectified soon and in a manner that makes sense. I am ready to spring for a lifetime subscription but don't want myself or my fam to have to pay for the Android client on each device we use. The emby server that I have set up (currently running Plex) sits in a colocation facility because I'm constantly on the go and where we life, the ISP limits us quite a bit. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
