MadEddie 0 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Hi, I've been through all the connectivity guides to figure this one out but with only partial success. I am able to access the server from another PC on the same network but nothing outside. I have performed a couple of port scans using tools on https://canyouseeme.org/ for 8096 (See Attached) on the external IP and it reports success. I was about to setup Port Forwarding on my Virgin Media Hub 3.0 but it appears to have used UPnp to set itself up (See Attached) I have also disabled the windows firewall completely. Does anyone have any other ideas ? Seems odd that the Port Scanner is showing it open if it isn't in some way.... Thanks in advance The IP listed in the screenshot will still be valid for a while should anyone wish to check Edited April 2, 2020 by MadEddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Q-Droid 762 Posted April 2, 2020 Solution Share Posted April 2, 2020 Your router might not allow NAT hairpinning (loopback) connections. Have you tried from an external connection or mobile? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-Droid 762 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Is that the app? LAN or WAN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadEddie 0 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Its from the Emby Server itself using FireFox to register it at http://app.emby.media/#!#dlgxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Droid 762 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I would think it should but not something I've tried myself. If you haven't already try with "http://". Other than that I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8882 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Its from the Emby Server itself using FireFox to register it at http://app.emby.media/#!#dlgxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx But if your router is blocking loopback app.emby.media can not connected to that address locally either. If you enter you LAN address it connects, correct? Unless your router has a loopback setting your WAN address is inaccessible within your LAN. Googling would suggest possibly a upnp vs direct port forwarding issue also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when registering with app.emby.media the initial connection is between the browser and the Emby server to be registered? Is this how the process obtains the server details it needs to complete the registration? I ask because it's not something I've tried but it sort of makes sense.

I don't really know the details with Connect, but one should not have to manually enter any information. They should be applying their Connect username to their local user and the system should automatically get the LAN-WAN information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadEddie 0 Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 I tried it via my mobile phone and it worked ok. I suppose that the site is trying to make an initial connection directly within the browser. This doesn't work for me due to the loopback restrictions.
