zzamm Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 Emby worked now it doesn't. Won't load on my Mac OS10.15.6. I've dumped the application, re-started, and still nothing working... Tries to load: http://localhost:8096/web/index.html but comes up with: Unable to connect Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:8096. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. Solutions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hi there, have you tried rebooting your Mac and then starting emby server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzamm Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Not only has my Mac OS been restarted as already stated, I have also: updated the OS zapped the PRAM uninstalled Emby Cold restarted the Mac downloaded & reinstalled Emby verified Emby is not blocked by either the Mac's or my network's Firewalls looked for any possible Emby preferences that might screw it up Yet whenever I start Emby, this is all that I get in Firefox: Emby tries to load: http://localhost:8096/web/index.html but comes up with: Unable to connect Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:8096. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. BTW, Plex is working fine. Emby worked very well for ~6 months, then this...

zzamm Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Hi Luke, There's no way that I know of for me to answer your question as I cannot get into Emby because it will not load in a browser. Do you have another way to laod Emby other than in a webbrowser? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I'm asking you to look in the folder on your mac file system. Can you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzamm Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Nope, there's no file or folder of any sort of Emby other than the original download and the app in my applications folder. Since the uninstall listed above, there's no trace of the application's support files. The attached screenshot is search results of this Mac's hard drive.

TonyWoo Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I have exactly the same problem. Tried everything. It looks like I'm going to have to go back to Plex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzamm Posted October 15, 2020 Author Share Posted October 15, 2020 If the people at emby had bothered to address this let alone resolve this, I might have been inclined to wait for a solution. Nope, apparently they don’t care. Been using Plex with a 100% success rate since posting this in July. On a modern Mac, Plex works & emby doesn’t.

This is just a tricky one because it does not appear to be a widespread problem. Regarding the logs folder i requested earlier, the location might be hidden, so I would try entering the path into Finder rather than trying to browse to it.

I've a MBP running Catalina 10.15.7 I have a WD Mycloud EX2 ultra 2 that is running the latest version of the firmware, OS5. I installed the OS5 version of Emby server on the Mycloud NAS I've installed the Emby app on my MBP, Emby version 1.9.9(2) When I try to connect to my server I get the following error Connection failure, unable to connect to the server right now, please be sure it is running and try again.

I just upgraded to Catalina 10.5.7 and Emby stopped working with the exact same symptoms. I too tried all the remedies listed above to no avail. It just quit working. Shame. I liked Emby, but I may have to revert back to PLEX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarinr Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) That was the very first thing I tried. I’m really disappointed. I really liked Emby. It makes no sense that this is not working. How do I completely remove Emby's associated files from my drive? Maybe if I do a complete reset it will work.

HKMtM Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Similar issue. Mac OS Catalina Fresh Instal of latest Emby server Inital config went fine Created Library (it's kinda large, and in my case I think this my be a contributing factor) Switched to a LGTV for the Olds and added Emby app there (was able to get that up) Switched back to MacOS Emby server to add another library (now that I *knew* it was working) And got the same "http://localhost:8096/web/index.html " error Opened up the logs in Terminal and it *looks* like in my specific case it is still fetching metadata from themoviedb.org I'm gonna let it do it's thing for a bit and come back and check in a few hours; I suspect it's grabbing meta data and thumbnails for the library I added. As a longtime Plex user, it is worth mentioning to the others in this thread that Plex is currently going through many of its own problems: Sony TV system is permanently broken due to App developer issues, LG is currently hit-and-miss, and some reports of Samsung issues—but doesn't seem pervasive. So given that Plex has recently driven me to Hulk-Smash status lead me to caution those thinking the grass is greener ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
