HELP Why are you binding the IP address? That's not even a complete IP address. What is the complete IP address of your server? That's the info your Emby clients need to connect to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really want this to be up and running. thanks my email is frankiemsmiles@.com On the Emby server admin page it tells you what your server IP is. That's the IP you need to put into your Emby client(s). Your WD has nothing to do w/ this since you're running the server on your laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
