How do you get alternate address working?

I have the emby plugin working correctly to access my media when at home. I would also like to access my media remotely. My understanding is that I could use alternate address to do that. However, I don't know how to get it working.

 

When I configure the settings to enable alternate address, this is what I do:

For alternate address server, I take my address listed from when I log into the Emby server and past it in. Someting like this: 2##1:2##:100:#d#7:d##e:#caf:##c0:#aaf (I've changed the numbers to hide my address, also did this to the log)

I've also enabled playback from http.

I don't use https, do I have to? If I have to, how do I enable it?

 

What am I doing wrong?

No that's your ipv6 address. You have to put in your external ip address: http://whatismyipaddress.com/ .You can use a free ddns service like no-ip.org to make it accessible via a specific address. You can change the value in the emby dashboard > advanced > hosting > external WAN address.

You should only enter a DDNS address in the alternative address field. All you really need to do to access remotely is assign your server a static IP address then in your router you forward port 8096 to that ip

Check the wiki or Google if you don't understand any of that
