Haesselmaas 0 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Ok, I've recently downloaded the server to my windows home computer. Everything worked fine, the program is arranging everything almost exactly the way it should and I can fix the tiny flaws. The problem arrives when I'm not at home and I'm trying to access the emby app. Now I get asked to log in every time I open the app and when I try to connect to the server I get this message (see picture)* This happens EVERY time, also on my phone and when I try to go online to find emby connect there. Same issue. Same error message. Even though all of these worked when I was at home. How do I fix this? Do I have to leave my computer on so that the server is turned on when I leave the house? That seems a bit goofy, doesn't it? Or does emby connect require that the server in question is nearby so that you can access it via Bluetooth? Please help! *the language on my computer is Swedish, so I don't know what exactly the English version says, but this is how I would translate it: "Failed connection. We couldn't connect to the chosen server at this time. Please make sure (the server) is turned on and try again."
Happy2Play 9446 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) Please try going through the steps in our Connection Troubleshooter. Edited January 14, 2017 by Happy2Play
Haesselmaas 0 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Posted January 15, 2017 Ok, I tried to follow the steps in the troubleshooter and I got as far as "setup port forwarding" and then something went wrong. I tried to find my router's IP adress, but as you can see on the picture, there is no adress. What do I do now??
x88dually 9 Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) i get the same error on my samsung tablet in home network thru wifi. Emby 3.1.2.0 ( i7 3770, 1 user acct, Admin), running and streaming to am fire tv at same time. Edited January 16, 2017 by x88dually

Haesselmaas 0 Posted January 16, 2017 Author Posted January 16, 2017 Alright, I checked and you're right, the IPv4 section actually said this: 10.0.0.1 But I've tried to copy that into the adress bar of my browser and nothing happens...
x88dually 9 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 My problem was wifi ap not connected. Unplugged/plugged ap and tablet connects now. 1
Luke 40114 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 @@Haesselmaas, what exactly did you put into the address bar?
Haesselmaas 0 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Posted January 18, 2017 I put 10.0.0.1 Why? Do I need to add anything to that?
Happy2Play 9446 Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 That address should be his router to setup port forwarding, isn't that point you are at?
Haesselmaas 0 Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 Ok, I tried entering 10.0.0.1:8096 like you wrote above, but Chrome tells me "Google Chrome cannot display the web page" and Edge tells me it can't get there. But even if i got there, I see the next step is to type in my username and password and I don't have any! When the phone company issued me this router, a login wasn't required to get it going...?
Luke 40114 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Ok perhaps I need to take a step back. Are we trying to connect to your router or your Emby web app?
Haesselmaas 0 Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 My router works fine with Emby. It's just that I can't access my server on the emby app when I'm not *near* my router. The troubleshooting guide Happy2Play sent me led me to doing all this stuff with my router...
Happy2Play 9446 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 So you where able to setup port forwarding? Does canyouseeme.org show your port is open?
Haesselmaas 0 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Posted January 22, 2017 No, I haven't been able to setup port forwarding, since I can't open my router’s configuration page. And now I suddenly can't make internal connections either - even though I could before. Suddenly, even when I try to open them at home and on my home network, the emby apps tell me the same error. I tried to access it on the web and got the same message, until I got this error message from my browser "This page is trying to load scripts from unauthenticated sources". When I overrode that, I was able to get in. Can it be the same problem that's causing the rest of them to block me??
Haesselmaas 0 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Posted January 22, 2017 I went to canyouseeme.org and this was what I found:
Happy2Play 9446 Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 If you are unable to get into your router then you won't be able to forward the port he connection port to the Emby server. As for internal connections are you sure Emby Server is running?
Haesselmaas 0 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Posted January 22, 2017 Internal connections: Well, I can access it through the app on my computer (at home) and (like I wrote) when I'm online. Isn't that a sign that the server is running? External connections: Alright, then what do I do??
Luke 40114 Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 You need to configure port forwarding on the router. Are you able to do that?
Happy2Play 9446 Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Internal connections: Well, I can access it through the app on my computer (at home) and (like I wrote) when I'm online. Isn't that a sign that the server is running? External connections: Alright, then what do I do?? So are you saying internally you are only able to connect via the server machine? No other apps on your internal network can connect to the server? External connection you will need to contact your provider if that is were the router came from and get the login info or see if they will configure it for you if they will not allow you to.
Haesselmaas 0 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Posted January 22, 2017 Ok, that's strange. I just went to check the other apps to see if they're internally able to connect and now they can. I don't know what happened but now it works. I also just tried the numbers (10.0.0.1:8096) in the adress bar of my browser and suddenly I was on Emby and it was asking me if I wanted to connect to my server. Is that what's supposed to happen?
Haesselmaas 0 Posted January 22, 2017 Author Posted January 22, 2017 No, I was wrong. I apparently I wrote 10.0.0.4:8096 and that's how I got into Emby.

As for remote/external connection it will still require port forwarding via your/the router.
