Hi, did you link them to your server?

[Lyfesaver 64]

Luke, they have a history of connecting for years. So yeah, I linked them server. This issue started two days ago. I updated today to see if it would fix it. It did not.

[Lyfesaver 64]

When the problem started I was even out of town.

[Luke 37060]

Try linking them again. This commonly happens when users delete the server from their accountand then don't know how to get it back.

[Lyfesaver 64]

I think there is a break down in communication. All 7 of my friends did not delete their links at the same time, Luke.

[Luke 37060]

Can you please give it a try. Thanks.

[Lyfesaver 64]

Asking all of them to relink their accounts? 

[Lyfesaver 64]

BTW, the server is listed for them. They can all see it in their list.

[Lyfesaver 64]

What exactly am I supposed to try. Which of those steps? Should I just delete them and start over?

[Lyfesaver 64]

I fixed it. Thank god I did not go and bother each one of my friends

I fixed it. Thank god I did not go and bother each one of my friends

How did you fix it?

[Lyfesaver 64]

I am guessing that Emby does not consider the public IP it is running on automatically when a domain is entered into the settings. It will ONLY allow connections from via Emby connect using any domain entered. I finally got a hold of one of the people who were connecting directly and asked them how well it was working and if they noticed any interruption since around 5PM Saturday. They said my IP changed  and  got the new one from a family member so that they could connect. I then looked at thing and found my No-IP DUC was crashing on launch so it could not update to make the name resolve. Reinstalling fixed everything.

 

Totally my fault but I was 100% certain that all my friends did not get together and collaborate on some sort of ceremonious "Group Unlinking" at 5ish on Saturday specially considering that hardly any of them know the others exist on this planet.

Thanks for the feedback.

Correct. If you customize the domain, then we have no reason to try and detect your public IP anymore.
