Guest asrequested Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Do you know how to forward your ports on you router? Take a look at this, and scroll down to external connetions https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Wiki/wiki/Connectivity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all4dom 73 Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Hey doofus, thanks for responding. I was just reading that page. Im running windows firewall so I should be able to set that up. How do I download emby connect? Would that be the easiest for remote viewing obn my phone?

Now im not understanding emby connect. Do i have to create a guest account? What are you trying to do? If you are using Connect, the first thing you need to do is link your account to a local user.

Guest asrequested Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 And then for Emby Connect, as Happy says, you need to link your account. It's pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8144 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 The dashboard is showing the right external ip address correct? Are you using a vpn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
all4dom 73 Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 For port forwarding, I used the wan number & tcp & 8096.I did this for my router. I then looked up how to allow access in the windows firewall & I setup that to allow access.I am not using a vpn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
