I switched to de like the info told me but there is no emby skill. I would help and translate the skill to german but i want to use it Link to post Share on other sites
Luke 27261 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 We have work to do before it can support German but we will be looking at that soon. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
LiaraAlis 8 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Hi @Luke and @Angelblue05, where are the problems with the German version? As I can see, the translations are already done. You mean you have to make changes on Emby to support the German language? Is there anything we can do to help you with this to speed things up? We are already waiting for a long time for this feature. Best regards, Alexander Link to post Share on other sites

knowenoughtobedangerous 3 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Another case of Alexa saying "I can't reach your EMBY server..........." I'm trying to access my server remotely from several different Alexa devices, but same problem with all. I've tried disabling and relinking the skill. Router has HTTP and HTTPS ports mapped. I'm able to access server fine using Chrome and from the IOS app, both remotely. EMBY server running on a QNAP box. I'm retrying EMBY 'cos I've lost patience with Plex, but have taken a Premium licence yet. Needed? Anyway......... help? Link to post Share on other sites
cayars 2467 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Hi, Have you ever got Alexa working with your Server from the same LAN segment? Or asked another way have you even gotten Alexa Skills working with Emby previously? Link to post Share on other sites
knowenoughtobedangerous 3 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Hi @cayars. Thanks for getting back so soon. Having some decent tech support is one area where Emby score highly over Plex. No, never had a local Alexa working either - same response. However, you mentioned it being on the same LAN segment. My Alexa connects wirelessly to my router and my QNAP server is plugged directly into one of the router's ethernet ports. But, while my local Alexa (192.168.1.77) is on the same subnet as my QNAP server (192.168.1.100), my Emby Dashboard page says the "In-home (LAN) access" to be http://10.0.5.1:8096 Hope that helps Ian 1 Link to post Share on other sites
cayars 2467 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Make sure you can get to system.xml file on your NAS before doing the following. Shutdown Emby and copy system.xml to have for safe keeping just in case we need it after this changes I suggest. Restart Emby after getting a copy of that file. Go to network menu in Emby Dashboard and set LAN networks: 192.168.1.0/24 Local IP address: 192.168.1.100 (assuming your Emby Server IP is the same as the QNAP itself. restart Emby Server and let us know what the Dashboard shows now for local and remote connections If Emby won't restart, shut down and replace the system.xml file.

knowenoughtobedangerous 3 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Took me a while - had to resort to very unfamiliar WINSCP territory Emby was happy to restart but no change with connecting, I'm afraid, Dashboard shows - LAN address http://192.168.1.100:8096/ - WAN address http://84.92.55.137:8096/ both are as expected (by me, anyway) Link to post Share on other sites
cayars 2467 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 You can remove your WAN address but that's also your problem. In testing it I was not able to connect. That also mean Alexa will not be able to connect. Something is wrong in your remote setup. You may want to review this KB article. https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44002137137-remote-setup Link to post Share on other sites
knowenoughtobedangerous 3 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Ok. Bedtime in the UK, so I’ll try tmw. However, don’t forget that a remote Web browser will connect on that WAN IP address and, presumably, so does you IOS app. Emby Connect links through fine as well. thanks again for the v rapid responses Link to post Share on other sites
cayars 2467 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I just tried it in a web browser and could not connect. If I can't get to your server neither can Alexa. If you need some help tomorrow let me know and I can do a remote session with you and help you get this all working. Carlo Link to post Share on other sites
knowenoughtobedangerous 3 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Ah, good info. The penny/centime/sheckel has dropped. I get a lot of hack attempts on my server so I have the firewall set to allow access from a whitelist of IP addresses. The Plex Alexa skill was fine with that. Turning the firewall off temporarily allowed Alexa Emby access (further than previously, anyway .... I do need Premier, apparently). But I immediately got a flurry of failed SSH logins, so the firewall is back on. So, what IP addresses do I need to open up for your skill? Link to post Share on other sites
cayars 2467 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Yes Alexa Skills is a Premiere Feature. Hack attempts are an unfortunate way of life these days. Having a well setup firewall only allowing ports that are needed to be open is paramount of course. Whitelists can be great for certain things but can get difficult to use for other services. Alexa Skills or Google Home integration are perfect examples of this!!! Ideally you would never have anything like SSH or any admin like service available directly on the Internet but instead would use a hosted VPN server to gain access to your home network instead. That alone cuts down on your vulnerability quite greatly. Putting a service like Emby behind something like Cloudflare gives an additional level of protection and allows geo blocking. That of course didn't answer your question. Alexa Skills can come from any IP on the AWS network so you would need to open up these IPs. Your best source of this information is right here and kept up to date by Amazon: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-ip-ranges.html There is a specific question asked on the Amazon dev forum about the IP ranges and the answer given: https://forums.developer.amazon.com/questions/60923/how-to-get-list-of-amazon-alexa-skill-ip-address-t.html "We can't really give specific IP ranges beyond the standard AWS ranges, but you shouldn't need to use IP blocking to make sure that you are only getting requests specific to your Alexa skill from amazon. As long as you verify the signature and the app id that is sent in the request, it will not be possible for someone to spoof a request to your service." 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I've just started looking into why Alexa wasn't working for me - and then realised I was geo blocking anything other than incoming UK requests on my NAT and f/w rules - doh! Allowing the US - and Alexa/Emby is now working fine (with a lets Encrypt Cert - which is what I thought the original issue was ..) - so now need to lock down incoming requests to AWS only - and the above link you kindly provided should let me create an up to date AWS inbound whitelist.
