Guest Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I cant seem to get Emby to work with Alexa, my Home Assistant instance is able to see emby fine. emby connect is working fine, alexa sees my server in the "link page" But no matter what i do i still get "am i authorized access to your server, it doesn't seem so" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelblue05 4130 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) Nevermind, I found the instance. Your server is returning error 403 when it tries to retrieve your Emby user. Are you blocking Alexa? It needs to be able to access to your server remotely. Edited December 25, 2018 by Angelblue05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Guest Posted December 25, 2018 Solution Share Posted December 25, 2018 Thanks for the PM, Alexa was routing via USA AWS IP address, i have geoblocking enabled which was blocking all countries other than my own. all sorted now, wasn't expecting a reply on Christmas Day tbh. Merry Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Does anyone know how I can get a list of Alexa ips? The AWS ip list doesn't seem to matchup with the Alexa requests. Is this something Amazon would help with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninko 63 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hi, I wonder if this might be the problem I'm having. What's the best way round it as I'd rather not open my system to the whole world (only allows my country currently). Any advise please? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chef 3744 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Alexa is going to request information from your server over a https connection through emby.connect. As long as you have emby connect, WAN ports open over https and a solid password on each of your users, I don't you think you have anything to worry about here.

Ninko 63 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I run Emby on a Synology NAS so it's not the only thing hosted on there, plus I use a reverse proxy server so I can run all services through one port, hence why I'd rather not open said port to the whole world.

Luke 36879 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Right unfortunately that's just a requirement in order to use Alexa or Google Home. That's just the way those services work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
