Network Ports Required

[Disorganise 15]

Hi,

I've been trying to get Emby client on Android TV to access my remote Emby Server over the internet.  I have 8096 forwarded and think I also forward 8920 although it is not used.

 

I can access and browse Emby via a browser on my PC/laptop no problem, but the Android TV client will not;  have tried FQDN and straight IP address but no joy.

Is there an additional port that the android tv requires?

 

In case it makes a difference; I have my router forwarding to a Sophos UTM VM which in turn forwards to the Embyserver.  As I said, I can browse with Chrome/Firefox so the forwarding it working ok.

 

Any ideas?  [i don't have physical access to my server now, but I can VPN to the UTM if I need to add a port]

Hi.  Are you using HTTPS or just HTTP?

just HTTP

And what exactly happens when you try to login?  And exactly how are you doing that?

 

Thanks.

Look in the logs of the Sophos UTM - assuming you have logging enabled for that NAT/Firewall rule - are you seeing the dropped packets vs the allowed packets when using a browser ?    Do you have the IPS enabled ?

 

If you don't see any drops (it will come from the same WAN IP), then the Android TV's traffic is not reaching your remote server - do other web services work ok ?
