Hey there, I just did some research in google and I find a github plugin call EmbyExternalPlayerLauncher, the question is I am never use github before, so i just download the plugin from github and I follow the instruction to install the plugin, but I try so many time and the plugin just keep showing me error "could not connect to Emby. Please check your settings" , so i just come here hope someone can help me to solve the problem. Thank you so much.

@Happy2Play there is a topic dedicated to this application here in forum. Can you link him to that? I think that will be a better place to get support for this.

@rex2549 another option is using our Emby Theater app, which has built-in external player support:

I will assume this topic.

Where did you extract the zip to?  What are your configurations on Emby External Player Launcher? @rex2549

Initial setup I had no issues but shutting down and relaunching got the same results as above.  Could be because I have multiple Emby servers.  I then applied the IP:port for my test server and it authenticated instantly and became a cast to device.  My test was on beta 4.6.0.1.
