fguarneri 0 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Helo, I have a windows 10 machine running Emby server and its running fine. Using Firestick as client to watch the content. I have now inherited an older machine and installed LXLE Linux (Ubuntu variant) with the hope of using this machine as my Emby server. To test it, I installed the deb file from the Emby web site and followed the steps to install. I made a movies directory in my /home and placed 2 movies in there. I then opened a web browser to http://localhost:8096 and Emby showed me my 2 movies. A status check in terminal; sudo systemctl status emby-server.service, showed Emby active. When I use my Windows/Mac machines (and Firestick) to access this server, it refuses to connect and shows no server at the local server address. Looks like setting up an Emby server on Linux is more complex than expected. What am I missing? Thank you all for your help. Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8304 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Not a Linux guy but are you saying you can not connect to this server via ip:port? Are these servers on the same subnet/network? If not a guess would be the clients are seen as external/remote and you have Remote connections disabled. A test would be enabling Remote connections on the Linux server to verify. (Dashboard-Network, Allow remote connections to this Emby Server) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fguarneri 0 Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 Correct. I can't connect with IP:port. As I mentioned, I have ANOTHER machine running Windows 10 as Emby server, and this works fine. All my content can be watched. For some unknown reason the Linux Emby server will not show up. Any ideas out there? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8304 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) And my other question above? Edited March 24, 2021 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Droid 656 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Check to see if LXLE has a firewall enabled by default. Can you ssh to the host from another one or can only work locally? Also check to see which addresses Emby is binding. netstat -lnp | grep -i emby Don't worry too much if you see IPv6 as long as it's not bound to a specific address and you have dual stacked IPv4 and v6. Check IP addresses per adapter. ifconfig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fguarneri 0 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 Hello all. My problem is solved. I used the my firewall on the emby server machine and set simple tab in gufw to allow in an out tcp/udp of ports 1900,1901,8096,8920. All is good now. Thanks to all.
