Guest peteamaro86 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I currently have Plex and wanting to switch over to Emby, but when I installed Emby yesterday and tried to access the server from work or I turned my Wifi off on my phone and used cell service, I keep getting a, "We're unable to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again." Well, the server is running, can access it while on my network at home, but getting this error on my work computer and iPhone. On Plex, I am using the UPnP and it works great with my router, I have my firewall off, but I do have the inbound rule of port 80 open, so something is blocking this from working, but for the life of me, I can't figure it out since Plex works just fine with UPnP. Can someone help me, please? 1
ebr 15369 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Hi. This is undoubtedly going to come down to router or other network configuration. You aren't trying to use the same external port for both Plex and Emby are you? Connectivity
Guest peteamaro86 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 No I’m not, Plex is using port 32400 and Emby is using 8096 and 8920
ebr 15369 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 No I’m not, Plex is using port 32400 and Emby is using 8096 and 8920 Both internally and externally? You said: but I do have the inbound rule of port 80 open, Where is port 80 being used? Where is it routed?

arche 176 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Just a quick question, for the user account do you have "Allow remote connections to this Emby Server" enabled? Also under advanced settings in the admin dashboard, do you have "Allow remote connections to this Emby Server" enabled?
arche 176 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 what happens when you if you use https://www.canyouseeme.org/ and put emby ports in?
ReeceEmbyLol 0 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I, too, am having this exact same issue. Came onto these forums to post about it, but found this instead. Basically, Plex works outside of the network, whereas Emby does not. They are using different ports, and are not overlapped. My Vigor 2860 has UPnP. Plex works, Emby does not. The only way I get Emby working is if I disable the VPN route on the router and forward the port to my server's machine. None of this is needed on Plex, and Plex works constantly and consistently with or without a VPN and with and without UPnP. Booting my server's machine without the VPN route on, and then turning it on after the fact, I can connect to my PC from outside the network. However, if I restart my server machine and the client machine, I can no longer not. Does this make sense? If you need anything cleared up, let me know, but it's a make or break feature for me.

arche 176 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Error: I could not see your service on 68.203.140.** on port (8096) Reason: Connection refused Do you have the emby plugin "port mapper" installed?
Guest peteamaro86 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I don't see it in my plugins or in the plugin catalog.
arche 176 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 I don't see it in my plugins or in the plugin catalog. Oh, sorry. I'm on beta, not sure when it was switched to a plugin. Do you have Upnp enabled in Emby?
Guest peteamaro86 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 should I try the beta version? and yes I have it enabled.
arche 176 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 should I try the beta version? and yes I have it enabled. Don't think beta will help a connection issue at the moment. I would first disabled ssl connections if your not actually using it and disable upnp and reboot emby. Then go to canyouseeme.org again and test again. Something is blocking your inbound connections because you have LAN connections working fine, so it most likely is a router configuration issue or windows firewall (but you said that is off).

Did you do that?
Guest peteamaro86 Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 That is what I ran to figure out what Emby was using, ran those in CMD.
Luke 38528 Posted April 19, 2019 Posted April 19, 2019 @, are you still having an issue with this? Have you checked the port forwarding setup in your router?
homelabsol 0 Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Hi, actually im having the same issue using emby server version 4.4.2.0. I will give u an example. 1 of my tester have 3 devices. 1 pc,q android and 1 ios. In his laptop and android its working fine. While accessing my emby server using ios, he cant get in. So what do u think is the problem? I have a post regarding this but no one is looking at it from your developer or admin. Hope you can improve your support. Edited May 6, 2020 by homelabsol
