mldardy 2 Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 I installed an Emby server on my pc and scanned all of my libraries successfully. When I go to install Emby for Android TV, I enter the server address manually and I am unable to connect to the IP address for the Emby server I installed. What am I doing wrong or a step that I am missing?

seanbuff 1313 Posted January 17, 2022 Posted January 17, 2022 Is there a firewall on the Emby Server PC? Have you allowed connections or disabled that?

I'm not sure about firewall, how do I check that. I installed on my phone and can't get to it when I put in IP address.
