jhs39 13 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I had a problem where I had to uninstall Emby Server from my computer because it could not complete a library scan. I tried various things I found on the forums but nothing worked, so I uninstalled Emby, ran CC Cleaner, reinstalled Emby and recreated my libraries. Now, however, when I open the Emby Roku app my computer server shows up twice and I need to select one of the servers every time I open the app before I can watch anything. Previously the app just opened to the media browsing screen. Is there any way to get rid of the duplicate server entry and make the Roku app directly sign in without my having the server selection screen come up every time?

Luke 36997 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The server selection screen in the app allows you to delete a server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhs39 13 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 I haven't located that option. How do you delete a server in the selection screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36997 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 As soon as you click on a server you have to choose either "Connect to Server" or "Remove Server" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhs39 13 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 It doesn't work. I click remove server, I get a please wait message, and then the app goes back to the server selection screen and they are both still there. I tried deleting each one. I tried it with Emby signed out on my computer. It doesn't matter. I still have two servers for my computer show up. I think I might have screwed something up with Emby Connect where I show up as a user rather than the administrator of my server. Could that be the problem?

Luke 36997 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 whichever one you tried to delete, try to delete the other one. if the app auto-detects a server then that one will keep coming back as long as it's detected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speechles 1917 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 There is one "sure fire" way to fix it. You need to reset the registry data the app keeps. You have to delete every app that uses that developerID. I believe luke uses a different developerID for the stable than the beta/zip. So you should just need to delete the app and readd it. This should reset the app completely and require setup again. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhs39 13 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Speechless--are you talking about deleting the Roku app and then reinstalling it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speechles 1917 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Jhs39, yes.. On the roku, registry is tied to an applications developerID. If every application tied to this ID is deleted from your roku it will remove the registry for that application. This is the fastest way to resolve issues if you mess up. Its like using "factory reset". Now add the application back and it should resolve the issue immediately.

jhs39 13 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 That didn't work. I deleted all the Emby versions I had on my Roku--the official app, the old Media Centre and the Blue Neon Light Themed Version. I rebooted my Roku. I added back the Blue Neon Light Themed Version, since that is the one I use daily. It still shows that my computer is running two servers with the exact same name--and clicking on either one brings me to the screen where I choose the user (Joe) and then my library appears. Either works exactly the same. I cannot delete either one. I cannot go straight into the Roku app since it is forcing me to choose the server and user every time.

jhs39 13 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 I thought I found the problem--I have a folder called system and another called system.old that seemed to have identical files, including the MediaBrowserServerApplication.exe so I figured that must be the reason Roku thinks I am running two servers. I deleted the old folder--which did nothing. Still two servers showing up in Roku. Is the System.old folder something that Emby normally creates? Should I return it even though my server seems to be functioning the same without it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8238 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Yes, the system.old folder is the previous server version. Every time you update the server the old version is backed up to .old. So you are able to rollback your server, most of the time to the previous version unless there are major database updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhs39 13 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 I never saw anything in the Emby menus that gave you the option of rolling back to the previous version. Thanks for the info. I guess I'll just have to put up with the extra server showing up in Roku and not being able to go straight into the app like I was previously able to since there doesn't seem to be a solution.

jhs39 13 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Presumably there is something on my computer that makes it seem like I'm running two instances of Emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhs39 13 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 I'm using Windows 10 built in firewall and Emby is just set to be allowed to go through. Not sure how I would check if it's going through two ports. I'm not that computer savvy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhs39 13 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 The firewall shows two lines for mediabrowser.server.application--one for TCP and one for UDP. For both ports just say any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhs39 13 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 In the server screen it shows: Running on http port 8096, and https port 8920. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediacowboy 438 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I was thinking I have seen this before on the forums when a user has two network cables plugged into their computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
