SSL with custom cert

I have been trying to get Emby working with a custom SSL cert and having lots of trouble. Hopefully someone here can point me to what I am doing stupid.

 

I own my own domain and have it hosted through NameCheap. I noticed last week that they have a DDNS client. So I went ahead and used that to point emby.mydomain.com to my IP address as supplied through the DDNS client. Success!! I can drop the free DDNS service I had been using and use my own domain! I tested this and am able to log in to Emby successfully from outside my network through the domain I setup. I also set the external WAN address in Emby server to be the address emby.mydomain.com (obviously this is not the actual address).

 

For the SSL cert, I went with StartSSL and used their free personal SSL cert option. I received a class 1 SSL cert for emby.mydomain.com. I then used their StartCom tool to generate the PFX file using the .key and .cer files I received. I did NOT specify a password when generating the PFX file. I then placed that PFX file on the Emby server and set the custom certificate path to that file. Apply and reboot Emby. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am. Except....not.

 

Now I can't even access Emby http or https. I removed the custom cert and went back to letting Emby generate it's own cert. Http and https both work. Re-add the custom cert. Broken again. Remove, everything works.

 

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

 

Emby 3.0.5882, normal ports (8096 and 8920), Windows 10 Pro
