Emby for Kodi doesn't find my server after kodi restart

[Lemy Danger 0]

Hi,

 

since a couple of weeks I recognised that after each restart of kodi "emby for kodi" fails to connect to my emby server. My setup is the following:

 

• emby server in a docker container. embys internal (docker internal) address is 172.18.0.2 and listens on port 8096
• docker is setup to make emby on the docker host available under http://emby:80 and http://emby.mypublicdomain:80 via reverse proxy, which means it is only accassable via its hostname(s)
• http://emby.mypublicdomain:80 is configured in emby as remote address and is used to access emby from the internet
• kodi is on the same network as the docker host and is configured to connect to emby via http://emby:80

 

The only way I found to make it work is to reset the whole plugin and re-enter the username & hostname:port. This is working untill the next restart. Please note that I haven't changed anything on my network or docker setup, however it could well be that there was an emby, emby for kodi or kodi(libreelec) update that triggered this new unpleasent behavior.

I attachted the complete log but I think it boils down to this snippet:

Any help is much appreciated.
