pcw8256 1 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Hi I've been trying out Plex and it's to clunky for my liking. I've come across Emby and it looks great! I am trying to set it up on my Shield. Internally, it works ok, except I have to manually bind the address of the shield 192.168.0.158 otherwise it gets an IP in a very different subnet. (I don't have any VPN adapters or anything set up). I cannot see the device externally despite port forwarding on my router. It's really strange as I have no difficulty with other devices. I've got remote connections enabled, mode set to blacklist (in case whitelist was not working) and honestly I've tried everything. Can anyone think of other things I can try? Thanks.

Solution pcw8256 1 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Solution Share Posted May 7, 2020 Sorted, had to forward BOTH ports. Facepalm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcw8256 1 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Sorry, it's a bit of a false alarm. It does work, but following all steps, HTTPS is not working. Domain is set up correctly, but the server only reports as being addressable on HTTP. If I try 8920 on canyouseeme.org it fails. Rather frustrating few hours troubleshooting this. Any advice please?

maegibbons 1267 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 So does it work internally on 8920? Krs Mark A 'like' is always appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcw8256 1 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Hi Mark, It doesn't sadly work internally on 8920. I get a connection refused on Chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37015 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 In order to use https on port 8920 you need to configure an ssl certificate in emby server network settings. Have you done that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegibbons 1267 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 (edited) Hi Mark, It doesn't sadly work internally on 8920. I get a connection refused on Chrome. Are you actually putting "https://" in the address bar because otherwise it will try to use http on an encrypted socket. I helped someone else NOT doing exactly the same.

Have you done that?Luke, thats not strictly true. It will still work you just have to accept the warnings that the site is untrusted. Krs Mark A 'like' is always appreciated!
