iamanoffering 1 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Hi, all, So - I purchased a QNAP TS-253D as I wanted to use Emby as a permanent media server solution. The only problem - after setting up the NAS and drives and volumes, etc., as well as installing Emby onto the QNAP box, I can't connect at all to the local host page to manage the server. I get a 'connection closed' error. I tried the stable version found at the QNAP downloads page, (Intel/AMD) then tried the beta version. Neither work. Disclaimer - I'm not an expert in server/network management by any means, so please be patient. I may have missed some things in the QNAP setup that might be crucial. Any help would be appreciated as I'd love this to work. Ironically it was working better on an old Windows 10 machine that was just constantly running with external hard drives attached to it. I'd rather make this new solution work as I invested a good amount of money into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution iamanoffering 1 Posted November 25, 2020 Author Solution Share Posted November 25, 2020 Well - look at that - I found some info in another thread that seems like it may be leading me in the right direction. I thought I had done a thorough search. Turns out you have to type in servername:8096 instead of the local IP. That seems to have done the trick. Could anyone explain why this might be the case?

Luke 37128 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Enter that where? Ip address should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamanoffering 1 Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 For whatever reason when I tried to enter app.emby.media into my browser to use Emby connect the connection didn't work. I entered servername:8096 and this worked locally. Remote works through Emby Connect just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurch9366 16 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 In my case when you click on the emby app in qnap it launches to local ip:8920/ I changed the 8920 to 8096 and it works fine. Not sure why it is auto launching to 8920 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurch9366 16 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I see why now, https is set for 8920 and http is set for 8096 in the emby server network settings and I run a https plugin on chrome so it is auto changing to https. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
