In-Home (LAN) access

[centuryx476 9]

Hello,

I think I am over looking something.
How can I make the "In-Home (LAN) access" use DNS instead of direct IP ?

Also is it possible to fully disable http ? and just use pure https ? In the Secure Connection mode I have it set to Required for all remote connections.

Thank You

Hi, that's all you need to do to disable remote http connections.

Just substitute the IP with the machine name.  E.g., if your server's node name is "myserver", you would use http://myserver  (no port number needed since you are running on port 80).

Emby will not show the DNS name on the 'In-Home (LAN) access section - it will always show IP.  But as your local DNS is going to resolve to that IP anyway, then just use the DNS name in your clients and it will work just fine.  (I do this)

If you are using your external DNS via loopback - then you can use https (as the cert will be valid) but unless you have a way to sign your local cert for your home/private DNS, then I don't *think* you will be able to use https locally as self signed certs are no longer allowed.
