Tumba 1 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Dear community, we´re trying to setup an Emby Server on a regular Linux Webserver with a static IP. Everything works fine by connecting via browser with https://X.X.X.X:Port (we don´t use standard port). However I want to use the emby library with Kodi. Therefore the Emby for Kodi addon is a nice tool! Connecting to the server is working, sync is working and the content is meanwhile in my Kodi library. However I´m not able to start playing the video files since the network credentials are missing. Which data should I put into the network credentials of the addon in case of an external static IP with special Port? \X.X.X.X:Port\ or X.X.X.X:Port or https://X.X.X.X:Port ? And which network username should I use? My Emby user login? Alternatively should we use path substitution / (optional) shared network folder in the emby server settings? But what should I put inside here if I have a folder like /mnt/video? Thanks in advance! Tumba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Angelblue05 4130 Posted April 1, 2018 Solution Share Posted April 1, 2018 Remote access is only available for add-on playback mode. Make the change in the add-on settings > sync options, then reset the local database. That's all you need to do to get video playback working. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
