xyzeratul 2 Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Just found out my DLNA setting page in emby showing up like this: I am pretty sure some settings are missing like "Blasting alive messages", or the UI got redesigned somehow? Anyway DLNA is not working at all, can't even see the server in my phone, TV or Quest 2, it's been ages since I touch this setting last time, so maybe I mess up something obvious? I am running EMBY in docker on my Unraid server, I attach my server log below with DLNA debug logging enabled, hope dev can make something out of it, thanks. embyserver.txt
Luke 42077 Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Hi there, do you have docker configured in host or bridge networking mode?

OK, Test with host mode, VLC on my phone can work with dlna now, but my Quest 2(bigscreen app) can only see the unraid dlna server, not able to login, the login wheel just keep spinning. Also using host mode is not ideal for my server.

If you want to use bridge mode that's fine, but you'll need to configure the docker container appropriately so that emby server can communicate with other devices on your network.

Luke 42077 Posted October 20, 2022 Posted October 20, 2022 Are you sure that server log is from when you tried to connect with the Quest2? I don't see any activity there. Can you try it again with host networking mode? Thanks.
siggi7722 0 Posted October 21, 2022 Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Hello, the same for me, BigScreen on the Quest2 finds my Emby server, but can't access it. Loading circle spins and nothing happens. Emby installed on Debian11. Skybox VR Player works, can access Emby Server. But would like to use Bigsceen. here is my log embyserver.txt Edited October 21, 2022 by siggi7722

Right now I have to switch back to bridge mode, I guess I have to give up on dlna server until I can fix this problem. On a related topic, is there a plan for EMBY VR version? 1

gihayes 47 Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) I've got a Quest 1. Using Bigscreen, I have never been able do Emby with it. Before, It used to show my Emby server but when I connected it would just spin. Now my Emby server doesn't even show up, only my windows share drive (which also only spins). This is with the latest DLNA update. Works great with Skybox VR tho'. This is a link from an earlier post on the issue. I've turned on Log Debugging, DLNA Debuging, rotated the log, and attached. Hope this can help with troubleshooting the issue. embyserver.txt Edited October 25, 2022 by gihayes
Luke 42077 Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 @gihayes are you still running into this with Emby Server 4.7.11?
gihayes 47 Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Yes. Can connect, browse, and play using Skybox, but with Bigscreen, It shows my computer / Emby, but after clicking it, I just get spinning wheel no matter how long I wait.
Luke 42077 Posted April 17, 2023 Posted April 17, 2023 Big Screen DLNA support with Emby Server is resolved in the Emby DLNA plugin version 1.1.4+. Thanks !
