Hey,

 

I have emby installed using the docker and behind an nginx reverse proxy, I used the config from this post https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/47508-how-to-nginx-reverse-proxy. Shown below.

worker_processes  4;

events {
    worker_connections  8192;
}

http {
    include       mime.types;
    default_type  application/octet-stream;
    server_tokens off;

    sendfile        off;

    gzip on;
    gzip_disable "msie6";

    gzip_comp_level 6;
    gzip_min_length 1100;
    gzip_buffers 16 8k;
    gzip_proxied any;

    application/xml
    application/rss+xml

    tcp_nodelay on;

        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }

        listen 443 ssl;

            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
        }
    }
}


I am able to access emby through the reverse proxy and can browse media and manage server but whenever I try to play videos it just shows a black screen and the loading icon and eventually an error message will appear post-264603-0-55382000-1513758703_thumb.png. I have tested this with Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Opera and they all give the same result (Firefox and Edge show the poster and loading icon).

 

Everything works fine when connecting directly to emby (emby.mydomain.com:8904).

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Your Emby port is set to 8904? But it looks like you still have 8096 set as the proxy pass in your nginx conf. See where I’m talking about? Unless there’s a typo somewhere I’m surprised you’re even able to access Emby at all.

That probably is only the public port, or the https port.

 

Since you can access emby, did you try it without your security settings? Comment them out, try again. If it works, enable them one by one to find the actual culprit (my guess would be somewhere around the frame-options).
