Android App Can't Connect to Server

Android App version: 2.6.50, latest from Google Play atm.

Emby server version: Latest Stable AND Beta releases from emby downloads page for Windows.

Android Device: HTC One M8 w/ 6.0 OS

Windows Server: Windows 10 OS

 

Problem is when I try to connect from emby android app to windows server, I tried with and without emby connect btw, app shows this error message:

 

We're unable to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again.

 

Emby server runs on windows pc and I can accees it via browser on android.

 

When I try to manually enter the IP,  app shows the same error message instantly. (Auto search waits a bit before showing it)

 

Server logs shows these lines that are related:

 

2016-04-30 09:11:30.5700 Info HttpServer: HTTP GET http://10.0.0.32:8096/emby/system/info/public. UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0; HTC One_M8 Build/MRA58K; wv) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Chrome/49.0.2623.105 Mobile Safari/537.36

Any help appreciated.

What do you mean fails? can you please provide the server transcoding log?

thanks.

Well, it looks like browser URL isn't working anymore too. Video errors were related to encoding probably but i can't even get to that now. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49778084/server-63597730438.txt for server logs. 10.0.0.26 lines are my phone, 10.0.0.31 is server

Can you please elaborate more? Did every test listed in that document pass? If no, which ones did not? Thanks.

I have ended up here with searching "Request not found: /emby/system/info/public" in Google. Thats why I think its ok to resurrect this thread.

Basically I have the same problem for both Android and iOS apps. Everything is working via WEB Browser. Local or External. Even my reverse proxy is working with external connection. But for narrow it down we can focus on local  access only.

0. Server and mobile devices are in same local network. (192.168.1.x)

1. Firewall tests ok.

2. AV check ok (My computer is clean installed Windows 10 x64)

3. Chrome or Safari is working fine with http://192.168.1.10:8096. and my external link https://emby.mydomain.com:443.(reverse proxied) Kodi is also working with Emby add-on.

4. But If I manually add same server in both Android and iOS app during mobile app setup I got "We're unable to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again."

5. Partial log contains 404 not found errors.

Hi, try it without a proxy and see if the issue persists. I can't reproduce any of that I'm afraid. No problem found here.

As I told you I am just focusing on local access no proxy involved my above test.

 

192.168.1.125 (my phone) tries to access 192.168.1.10:8096 directly. No proxy , pure direct connection.

 

ps:

MyProxy is running on 192.168.1.10:80 (But I have just stopped my Web Server no make sure. Still have the problem.)

When you say the web client works, you mean on the same machine as the server?

Is your windows 10 set to public or private network?

I believe you that you're having a problem, but it has to be something specific to your configuration because i cannot reproduce it.

Yes as I noted above:

 

Firefox or Google Chrome from 192.168.1.125 (Android Phone) can connect to 192.168.1.10:8096 directly. Which is my Windows 10 Emby Server.

​But with the same phone same & network conditions I cannot connect to same server with the Emby Android App. 

 

 

Network type is Private.

I believe you that you're having a problem, but it has to be something specific to your configuration because i cannot reproduce it.

Today I noticed something new. If I run my setup as Windows service I got successful response generated by ServiceStack from http://127.0.0.1:8096/emby/system/info/public.

 

Since the service runs with LocalSystem account this time it fails to access libraries on my NAS. (My NAS shares requires auth) If i run Emby service with my users instead of local service, I got 404 Not found again from http://127.0.0.1:8096/emby/system/info/public.

 

It feels like it is something to do with my Windows user profile/user but I can't figure it out. Maybe a permission thing that blocks servicestack to generate info about the Emby server? Is this reminds you any bell?

 

By the way my server cannot keep authentication tokens. If i hit refresh button on my browsers it returns to login page. But after the login I can browse my server as long as I want. as soon as I hit refresh I back to login page. This symptom also goes away if run Emby as a Windows server with local system account.

 

Hoping that this new clues may reminds something since the Kodi addon moved to this I have no client left to playback :(

 

One more note:

 

My installation directory copied from my old computer. Whole c:\users\myusername\Appdata\roaming\mediabrowser-server directory copied to same directory on new computer.

 

(Using the same username password on the new computer)

After you have implemented Emby Connect to Add-on, Add-on  checks for the http://127.0.0.1:8096/emby/system/info/public link It got 404 not found from server  and throw an exception and quits:

 

Rolled back to 2.2.19.

Ok, thanks for reporting... Where do you see 127.0.0.1? In the server info migration, it should have added the address that was already saved in the addon settings and use that to connect to your server. It seems your server is unreachable at 192.168.1.10:8096. Can you confirm the server address that should be used?

I used 127.0.0.1 from Web browser on Emby Server installation host just for the proof of I am getting 404 Not found for URL "/emby/system/info/public".

 

​My original configuration in add-on config is 192.168.1.10 on my players. Server is definitely reachable because it worked right away after downgrading to 2.2.19 without doing any configuration changes in addon config.

 

Bottom line use server is reachable but returns "404 Not found" to clients for /emby/system/info/public URL.

Try removing all plugins in case something is causing a problem. i wouldn't worry so much about the service stack listing though.

Removing plugins did not make any difference :(

 

I have mentioned ServiceStack because I made a clean temporary installation on a Virtual Machine and listed ServiceStack supported operations and there was a "GetPublicSystemInfo" in list on that installation and it can respond to "GET /System/Info/Public" HTTP calls.

 

As far as I understand this service responds to "GET /System/Info/Public". Since this service is not available in my setup my server returns 404 Not found to clients that calls that URL. (http://my.emby.address:8096/System/Info/Public) But I am not developer and I am not sure what this is anyway :)

Ok I am getting close. I checked the GetPublicSystemInfo in more details. This service responds following GET Requests:

GET /emby/System/Info/Public
GET /emby/emby/System/Info/Public
GET /System/Info/Public
GET /mediabrowser/System/Info/Public 

With the first 3 I got "404 Not" found but my server returns HTTP-200 successfully to http://localhost:8096/mediabrowser/System/Info/Public.

Since my server keep getting updated for a very very long time it may still requires /mediabrowser/* for some URL requests. Now; any idea?

No idea other than some customized network configuration, and/or if you're running an old version of the server.

 

 

 
Ok nailed it!
Good old Turkish char set problem with "I". We have I,İ,i,ı. 
Server was responding HTTP 200 to 
GET /mediabrowser/System/Info/Public
GET /mediabrowser/System/ınfo/Public 
but HTTP 404 to
GET /mediabrowser/System/info/Public.
 
Since all of your apps (android, iOS, Kodi Add-on) uses "/emby/system/info/public" all was failing.
 

 

I don't why it does not bother with the "i" in "medibrowser/*" or in "Public" but with the "i" in the letter "/info/*"  :o
Now I changed my Regional Settings->Formats to English all clients started to work.
