Refresh UPnP

[pgriffith 88]

Hi all

Just had to change the IP of an Emby server (outside DHCP scope). Is there a way to refresh the uPnP settings? The router is still showing 2 UPnP entries showing the old IP address. There is no way to delete those entries in the router like you can do with a manual port forward. It's been 2 days now with no change. Is there anyway to force Emby to refresh those entries to the router. I realise I can do some manual entries, rather just leave it UPnP if I can.

Cheers

Have you restarted your router?

Or disabling upnp and reenabling?

Or disable UPnP altogether and do manual port forwards?

Yes & yes

UPnP should be one of the first things disabled on every home router.

Yes I agree.  That's almost the first thing I do with any remote support session involving remote access.  It has a slim chance of working these days.  When it does work, it can cause problems if the host is using DHCP and gets a new IP. It also tends to spam the log files when the option is tuned on and UPnP isn't available.

Time to give UPnP the old heave-ho.

It's just really a bad idea to let any software inside you LAN open ports on your router.
