topdavis 3 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) I am trying to track down a weird issue that I can't seem to understand. In Playback Reporting under Active Clients, there will be an entry that says EMBY-MEDIA-SVR (my Emby server name), client Emby (4.1.1.0), user undefined. I have attached a screenshot. I am currently using Emby Version 4.3.1.0. Additionally, when this "client" is on the list, a connection is open to my Silicon Dust device and connects to channel 589, NBA TV in my area, everytime I notice it. On the Emby server, I kill the connection, but it will reconnect eventually. I can block the remote ip address on the Emby Server using the Windows Firewall. I am suspecting this is someone hacking into the server because the User listed is undefined. If this is a hack, what might be the best ways to mitigate it and stop this connection in the future? Or could it be a bug????? The device is the server name itself and the client is server version 4.1.1.0, but that's not the version I'm running. When I get a chance, I'm going to change the default http port from 8096 when I get a chance, so that should help. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

topdavis 3 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 So I tried a little more testing to try and figure out the source of the issue. I restarted the emby server and made sure all the tuners on the hd homerun device were set to not in use. I connected with all of my devices on my internal network and everything seemed to be fine. That odd connection never came back up. But as soon as I used my cellphone and connected from a browser and from the app, the EMBY-MEDIA-SVR connection with the undefined user came up and had the same ip address as my phone on my cellular network.

ebr 14910 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Hi. Are you experiencing a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8279 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Does the Active Clients on the Dashboard show the same information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdavis 3 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Yes. That's where I pulled the screenshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37052 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Yes. That's where I pulled the screenshots. No, that's from a plugin, that's not the Emby Server dashboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdavis 3 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 Right right. my bad. See attached screen shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37052 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 So how do the two lists compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8279 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) So to me there is something in the Android app that the plugin in showing that the server is not. @@TeamB do you have an idea on this? added previous images Edited February 25, 2020 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topdavis 3 Posted February 25, 2020 Author Share Posted February 25, 2020 They are similar up until in the Active Clients from the plugin you have what seems to be an erroneous connection mimicking the external access connected devices. I have found this to be repeatable not only from my phone, but any external device accessing the server. Even more curious is no matter what external device connects, it always triggers a connection to the Silicon Dust device to channel 589. I can clear the connection on the Emby Server, but just accessing the server remotely and just sitting on the webpage not doing anything launches the connection to channel 589. It's weird.

TeamB 2352 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Playback Reporting is showing active sessions, I am not sure how different this will be to the main dashboards active players, I dont know is they should line up or not, probably not as the dashboard may be applying more filtering that the Playback reporting plugin is not.

topdavis 3 Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 I believe I have fixed the issue. I just changed the port from the 8096 default and now I can't reproduce the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can help you with this, or potentially look at new api dedicated to this purpose, which i've been thinking of anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamB 2352 Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 To be honest it is not super important to me for the active device lists to be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
