jemus 3 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Hey, I was wondering if there is a way to connect EmbyCon to the Emby Server that is running on the very same device without using the IP address. I have a device running CoreElec and it would be nice to start it on vacation in a different network and still reach the Emby Server even if the IP address of the CoreElec Box changes. I tried to set the server address to "localhost" but that way EmbyCon does't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 36991 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Hi, where did you try to set localhost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamB 2352 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 also you may be able to use the devices name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemus 3 Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 Well turns out localhost works as it should, the problem was, that I rebooted the device and emby server didn't start on boot. Wasn't able to find it that way. So I have to take a look at why the server doesn't start with the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jemus 3 Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 Guess that might only work on Windows but not on Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painkiller8818 203 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) ah ok this menu point is missing on linux. you can try this: systemctl enable emby-server not sure if coreelec is based on debian, but this works for me on the linux server (debian) Edited July 1, 2020 by Painkiller8818 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggs 300 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Basic Linux commands to managed units: You will need: sudo user or root access Start Emby immediately: # systemctl start emby-server Stop Emby immediately: # systemctl stop emby-server Restart Emby: # systemctl restart emby-server Enable Emby to be started on bootup: # systemctl enable emby-server Enable Emby to be started on bootup and Start immediately: # systemctl enable --emby-server Disable Emby to not start during bootup: # systemctl disable emby-server Edited July 1, 2020 by Riggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did very well, I just took the opportunity to leave a little more info with the commands for init-based systems - systemd Librelec may not be able to use sudo (I don't know either), although I do know that you will be able to use root, which is the super user after all. For general culture and community support Librelec uses the systemd for the init Have a great time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemus 3 Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Tried to enable the service but it seems like I have to create it firstly. CoreELEC:~ # systemctl enable emby-server Failed to enable unit: Unit file emby-server.service does not exist. Edit: Seems like other users are running into similar issues on libreelec: https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/21285-update-emby-server-to-latest-in-libreelec-repo/?pageNo=2 Edited July 1, 2020 by jemus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
