Then setup 2 different servers. Try using the local IP and non-secured port for on lan use then setup the second server using your domain and secured port. Laptop, both server and client. Same machine. Edited May 25, 2023 by generiq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4328 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Sorry, didn't mean to setup two Emby Servers. I meant to remove the current server entries in Theater then setup one entry while remote using your domain and then another server entry while on your local LAN using local IP info. You shouldn't need to do this but I'm curious if this works in your situation or not. BTW, are you logging with your username/password as configured on your server or using Emby Connect? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generiq 109 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 There is no network. No other devices, no remote access...just a single laptop with the server installed on it and Theater running on the same machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4328 Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 This is going to need clarification. Without a network there would be no IP addressing, no TCP and no way to connect since Emby requires IP/TCP to function. You would have to have some stub network available. What IP address is the server showing on the console? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generiq 109 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 With the server and client on the same machine, network protocols should not be required. If the server is operating strictly in this manner, that needs to change. But that is a side note. Why would the thumbnails and usability disappear if access to the internet is lost within such a short time? This is insanity. Carlo, I've given you a little room on this, but you are floundering, and making me repeat myself because once again, you're not paying attention. This is beyond you, as you're not a developer. There is about 24 hours before I'm in the desert and will probably have no access to the internet. So I'm shit out of luck. Emby is useless to me. I'll just stick with mpv, then I can play whatever I want, whenever I want to play it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is floundering or making you repeat yourself but requesting clarification of information that is contradictory. Which of the following is true?

These are quite different things. If there's a network card present, you should be able to use the IP address of 127.0.0.1 which always refers to the local host. ie http://127.0.0.1:8096 You have been warned before about trying to show some type of superiority over others or trying to belittle other people in our forums.

I actively avoid you. So this only happens when you seek me out. Warn me, block my account and IP, if you wish. It's only the internet. It's disposable garbage.

TandT 2 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 From looking around the forum, I think this is the right spot for this issue. I am running the Emby server and Emby Theater on the same Linux machine (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS). The Linux machine controls my whole house audio system and provides one of its music sources (i.e. my music library on Emby) through Emby Theater. When selecting my music library for a given zone, my web interface connects with the Emby server web interface where the user needs to select the icon in the upper right corner to tell Emby to play on a different device (i.e. Emby Theater) so that the music goes to the whole house audio amplifier rather the user’s device/client. The problem is that Emby Theater stops showing up in the list to Play On after a few days even though my Linux machine and everything else seems to be working fine. The only way that I have been able to get Emby Theater to show up on the Play On list again is to remote login to that machine (it is running headless) and either stop and restart Emby Theater or fiddle with Theater a little. My interface is for ease of use by my family members, but this is worse than when I was using Kodi. Is this a licensing issue?!? My machine is on my local internet and has access to the internet. I am not a fan of apps “phoning home” because of security concerns (not to mention privacy issues). If it is a licensing issue, why have that behavior (phone home) when I have a “lifetime” license for Emby Theater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodoo5_6k 6 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I've recently tested emby Theater and have a few questions regarding firewall setup. The system this is supposed to be running on is basically offline. Just once a month it gets online to retrieve patches etc. Internet access for browsing is running over a VM. So, emby Theater. It won't even start without active internet. The electron processes fire up, but nothing happens. Just "sitting" there in the taskbar. Alright, give its *.exe internet access to see how this looks. Not even that works. Now, what executable/process needs UDP/TCP on which remote ports? It is definitely UDP/TCP, as even with unrestricted access on Windows, the pfSense only allows UDP/TCP for this host (and then it starts properly). However, unrestricted access for the entire OS is not an option. I understand there's a new application in the works. Will it change anything in that regard? Thanks. PS: Uninstall didn't clean up properly, it even kept emby Theater in the Windows application list, dead... Also, several registry entries (obviously) and folders were left behind, although the "no traces" option was selected... Had to use Revo Uninstaller to clean this up. Maybe this needs some reworking?
