tobedeleted 4 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I use the android app and my own Emby server. I don't have any use for Emby connect or any other server. So I would like the app to stay tuned to this server. But every time once it cannot connect to my personal server (because of downtime, network connectivity, and so on), at the next start of the app the first login is always the Emby connect login. You have to skip the first login to get to the custom server login. This is quite confusing for not-so-technical users in the household. How can I tell the android app to always connect to one server, even if this server is not available some time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37190 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Hi, unfortunately the current behavior is what it is although I can see why it would be a nuisance under those circumstances. I'll have to think about how to fine tune it for single server usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DParsons 4 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I have had an issue with getting my emby mobile to remotely connect to my pc. It all works just fine when I'm at home on my pc's wifi but away from home the remote access is not functioning. If i try to create a new server with my ddns info it always gives me the message 'we are unable to connect'. Screenshot below. What are the steps for getting emby mobile for android to connect remotely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidman 589 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Make sure your router port forwarding for port 8096 is set to the correct ip of your server. Also this has nothing to do with the original posters issue Edited March 4, 2016 by Vidman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DParsons 4 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 (edited) Keeping the app tuned to one server seemed like a similar issue to me since it is the mobile app trying to connect to the wrong server that is giving me the problem. My remote access works from any PC are there additional ports that need to be opened for the mobile app. I would assume it works the same as remote access from PC. Are they different settings needed for each one? Edited March 4, 2016 by DParsons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to think about how to fine tune it for single server usage. Would be great to add this. A simple question "The selected server is currently not available. Should I re-try it or do you want to connect to another server?" instead of defaulting to EmbyConnect would be enough for a beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobedeleted 4 Posted March 9, 2016 Author Share Posted March 9, 2016 In addition to that: Even with the current behaviour, it seems counter-intuitive to me that the Emby app not only "forgets" about the last used server when this is not available, but you also have to enter your credentials again if you want to reconnect. And: If the server is not available, there should be an option to use the Emby app offline with the cached/synced content from this server.

Luke 37190 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 yes the fact you have to enter credentials again is something that should be improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
