ebr 14863 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Hi. First, have you connected your admin account to Connect already? Next, be sure your firewall isn't blocking the server's access out to the internet (specifically connect.emby.media). Can you please post your server log from when you receive the above message.

forest ames 0 Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) I followed the link that popped up and yes I made an account there.. I had started an Emby Server last month and my Hard Drive failed. Bought a new one and made a new account because I could not find the other one.. I have included my log file..

Painkiller8818 203 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hi,I also have a Question and don't want to open a new thread for the same thing.In the Wiki there is a way to invite Users. This changed becaus i need to add the user to my server AND i can optionally link the user.But just adding a remote user without creating a local user isn't possible anymore like in the wiki?This means every friend i invite or wanna give access, i need to add as a local user and link him?I am new, so i don't know how it was before.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14863 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Hi. You need to add each person as a user in your server but you don't have to use Emby Connect if you don't wish to. You could just give them your server address and their userID/pw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14863 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 But just adding a remote user without creating a local user isn't possible anymore like in the wiki? Hi. Where do you see this? Our current KB article has the proper procedure (create Emby Account then link to local user). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
