How is the IP cached for an Emby Connect ID?

[ddurdle 75]

I noticed that after I changed the IP of one of my hosts, that existing Emby Connect ID sessions continue to try to hit on the old IP.  I pretty much have to delete and re-invite the person.  Even then, they'll then have two entries in Emby Connect ID for the same server.  And the interface doesn't indicate the IP for either.

 

What is a good strategy to manage this issue?

Currently they won't get the updated IP until both of these things have happened:

• Server has reported new IP to Emby Connect ( this is pretty frequent)
• The user has restarted the app, or signs out and signs back in

The second part is an area that we can improve. Thanks.

Thanks Luke.  I thought maybe #2 might apply, so those affected users, I had asked them to test logging out and back in.  I do remember that working for me on a roku device in the past.

 

I'll keep both points in mind.  I'm glad it will update at some point, for those users who don't log in every day, hopefully by the time they do, it'll be reflected for them.
