Android - Change Server

[dalezjc 14]

So maybe I'm a little confused about the Android app.  When I want to connect to Emby remotely, I select Change Server -> Add Server.  Then I enter the IP address shown in the Admin Dashboard under Remote WAN access.   After about 5 minutes or so, it defaults back to my local WAN IP address.  Is this normal behavior?  I thought it would add it as separate IP address for just remote use?

Thanks,

Dale

Don't know this app but if like others it shoulds be one server with info for LAN and WAN connections.  So if you disable wifi it should connect via the WAN address.

As you can see from the screenshot, it only lists one IP, and in this instance, it's the remote IP.

Hi, what do you mean by local wan ip? There's no such thing as local wan, right?

Sorry, I just meant my 10.0 local network.

@dalezjc were you able to get connected? Are you still having an issue with this?

Yes, when I want to listen in the car, I have to turn off my wi-fi before I start Emby, and then it works (fairly well).  I still like it over Plex, and will probably be purchasing the Premier version.
