Rob051188 0 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hi all, I am trying to cast videos to the chromecast, but I get the following error: "chromecast unable to connect to server". I am also not able to connect to the emby server via the iOS app. What can be the issue here? Thanks for your help. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36991 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hi @@Rob051188, it sounds like even though your mobile device is able to connect to your Chromecast, your Chromecast is not able to connect to your Emby Server. Since you're unable to connect from iOS, let's look at that first. I would suggest checking out our Connection Troubleshooter. Please try the steps listed there and let us know what succeeds and what fails. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you connect to the server via browser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob051188 0 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Yes, on my laptop where the server is located I can access via my browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmind11 717 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Yes, on my laptop where the server is located I can access via my browser. How about the browser on your iPhone? Or another browser on your network that isn't your server... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob051188 0 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) On another browser it doesn't work. Edited March 3, 2017 by Rob051188 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastrmind11 717 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Well if it's only working on localhost:8096, there's an issue w/ your network. Are you using the proper IP address in the apps? Have you tried Emby Connect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob051188 0 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 Yes, I am using the proper IP address. I haven't used Emby connect, what can I use that for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
