Steve E 0 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 HelloI got emby premier and current on all its softwareThe emby app in my iphone was running fine getting into the server via vpn until an upgrade sometime last year leaving me with a vague "unable to connect" messageThe phone's web browser still works getting into the emby server via vpn using its local ip over httpI'm guessing it's a timeout value somewhere, but don't see any settings to find or change them, so gave up, until someone from emby answered my apple store feedback, suggesting I post here.

Luke 36997 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 How are you trying to connect with the app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve E 0 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 Its a no brainer. Login/password are stored in the app by choice I tap the emby icon on my iphone. The home page pages pops up Using the vpn, tap the same emby icon, the sever name pops up, I tap it, then connect, then get a message yjay says "cant connect" with a suggestion to check if the server is running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve E 0 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) How do I connect to the vpn? Using the built in iphone vpn client. FYI - Android tablets use its built in IPSEC client (that works fine with the emby android app), iphone can use either L2TP or IPSEC. I got configs for both. Both same error with emby app. Edited March 18, 2019 by Steve E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36997 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Is the vpn client intended to intercept localhost by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve E 0 Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 did u ever get this working' No, I don't know how to get it working other than press the connect button. Either it works, or it doesn't. As of the latest iphone and emby updates - it doesn't. For an alternative I use npvr app for tv, and file sharing apps for stored video. I'll post back if something changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve E 0 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hi Emby Its been almost a year since posting A couple of related posts look interesting, but didnt help me https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/80540-cant-connect-to-lan-via-ios/https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/78118-ios-emby-app-over-vpn/ That app still doesn't work over vpn on my iphone Alternative using a browser still does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve E 0 Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Hi Emby Is there somewhere else I should be contacting for technical support? This app still doesn't work through vpn. The server logs don't see me coming in.I don't know of anyway to test the iphone app other than press the connect button in the emby app itself.If the feature was disabled on purpose - just say so and I'll go away. Alternative apps - npvr for tv, and nplayer for video files , as well as safari - work fine over vpn.But the emby app is preferred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
