crusher11 863 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I was in the middle of watching something just now, and it suddenly stopped. Couldn't get it to restart. Switched off my TV, switched it back on, and got a 'select server' screen. Tried connecting to my server, but all I got was a "server needs to be updated" message. I'm running 4.2.1.0, which as far as I know is the latest version. embyserver.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37277 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 If you go back into the app, does this happen again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 863 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 It works fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37277 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Ok, thanks for reporting. This is an erroneous message. In other words, there was an error somewhere that you should have been informed about, but it was the wrong one. You said you had just turned the TV back on, so my guess is that the TV network connection hadn't been fully restored yet and it was just a connection error. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusher11 863 Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 I only switched the TV off and on in order to try and fix the issue of the server kicking me off in the first place, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistere 3 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I just go this same error on my iPhone when trying to connect locally. I also tried it with the wifi turned off on my phone and i can connect just fine. I am running server version 4.6.4 so it's current. I just got a new PC that I am setting up, I have all the ports forwarded etc. I'm not sure why I can't connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Hi, If you use a PC on your network via WIFI does this work? This is a good check to make sure your WIFI isn't isolated from your home network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistere 3 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 No it does not. I think its a machine setting but I'm not sure which one. When I first set it up I had local access and no remote access. Now I have no local and just remote. Another weird thing is that the LAN address for Emby is the same as the WAN address. IDK why this would be or how it happened.

mistere 3 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 So I just tried to give my PC a static IP that was different from the WAN and I now seem to have local access but no remote access. This is just weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 What IP (internal) is your router? your Emby server? your PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I needed a GPU for transcoding so I got a new Alienware Aurora R10 with a Ryzen 5 5600X and GeForce RTX 3060. 16 hours ago, cayars said: What IP (internal) is your router? your Emby server? your PC? The router is in access point mode but it’s IP is a 193.168.1.xx. The server and the PC somehow a 99.156.xxx.xxx number. If I put the router in wireless mode I get a PC and Server IP with a 192.168.1.xx number. It’s curious how when I tell the PC to have a dynamic IP it uses the one that is default for the WAN and I have remote access but if I give it a static 192 IP the Wan for the server doesn’t change but I have local access.

Carlo 4331 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Is that a typo or is the router internal side really 193.x and not 192.x ? So you have a router, then an access point hanging off the router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistere 3 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Lol oh yes it is a typo. It’s a 192.x. And yes my signal path is modem to router ( in access point mode) to PC. The modem has the port forwarded. I’ve got a switch that would bypass the router I’m gonna try this afternoon and see what happens. I will recheck this later to see if any ides have popped up that I can try also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4331 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Do you have any virtualization or VPN usage in play? How is the server connected to the network? What is it's internal IP? How about your test PC? What is it's internal IP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it's internal IP? How about your test PC? What is it's internal IP? No virtualization or VPN. My network signal/cable path is modem to router to PC. It is a hardwired connection for stability purposes. The internal IP of the PC matches the 99.x IP address when the IPv4 setting is on dynamic address. Which it shouldn’t be. And since the server lives on the PC . I have always seen that the server LAN IP is that of the machine which has in my experience is a 192.x and the WAN is a 99.x number but never are they the same number. If I knew what caused this I might be able to fix it. Why would the internal network adapter in the PC use the WAN address of the server for its LAN address? It just doesn’t make sense that it would.

And yes I have all of the settings on my phone are correct from my last server build. I have tried to access it from a web browser on my phone as well as the app but I get the results I have been previously sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistere 3 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Ok so I got this fixed. I ended up having to plug the PC directly into the modem and reset the mode. To factory which reset the Internal IP. Then I allocated the new IP in my modem so it wouldn’t change and then I forwarded the port and presto it works. Not sure why the other stuff was happening but I fixed it. Thank you guy for the help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
