Login screen takes a couple of minutes to show

[AxeMan 22]

Hello,

 

For some reason, when I startup Emby, the users login screen takes a LONG time - 2 to 3 minutes. But eventually loads. Emby for WMC shows as up to date. 

 

Server is on Version 3.2.24.0.

 

Obviously have tried reboots, etc. Only happens to be on my Win 7 machine. The other clients work fine. Even Emby on web from same machine works fine (trying to rule out a networking issue). 

 

is Uinstall and re-install something worth considering?

I think I know what the problem is... 

 

2017-07-12 15:54:23.0901,Info,,Unable to connect to server at 192.168.1.7. Will retry...,1,Application

2017-07-12 15:54:24.5904,Warning,,Unable to connect to configured server 192.168.1.7:8096. Will try automatic detection,1,Application

 

Server IP address is really 192.168.39.7; Where can I change it..? When I login and go to the gear icon, click config, i don't see anywhere to specify the server.

Hi, try going into the app settings and uncheck the option to remember the server info.

Sorry for being dense @@Luke but I cannot see this option anywhere. I tried to run the configurator app, but seems like there's no server tab there. 

 

I edited  the MediaBrowserCommon file I found from one of the other threads - no dice after a reboot.

okay - i think i got it ... edit the config file manually (the first attempt was on a different profile). after manually setting the IP there, boom back to Emby I know and love. 

 

Thanks for jumping on this @@Luke

The very last page of config settings in the app should have been "Advanced".  However, that would only have shown if you were logged in with an admin account.

 

On that page, there was an option of whether or not to remember the connected server.  Best thing to do is set that option to "Find Automatically".
