Set up a new router tonight, now Android app won't connect to server


Recommended Posts

Posted

I had a new router delivered to me from my ISP and I got everything set up tonight and now my android app won't connect to the server anymore. IP address was changed so I changed that on the app and on the server but didn't change anything. I uninstalled and reinstalled the Android app and that also didn't change anything. I'm kind of wanting to uninstall and reinstall the server but not sure that will help me on this. I've done a little bit of research but some of the solutions seem over my head. I found a thread on this forum with some suggestions about changing firewall options but that also didn't change anything. I'm kind of at a loss at this point and looking for any help. Thanks in advance.

Have you verified the new network is Public or Private?

Can another client/machine connect to Emby?

I'm pretty sure it's Private but how do I verify this?

I only have my Android phone with the app to connect to the server, nothing else.

Search Network status but if other clients can connect it shouldn't be the firewall.

Well, I got it to connect. I went into C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\programdata\config and changed the IsPortAuthorized to false and reset my firewall settings to default. Restarted the server and tried connecting on the Android app and it's working now.

Thank you for your help. I know you didn't suggest this here and now but I was reading an older thread where this was suggested. I had tried it earlier but I decided to reset my firewall settings this time and I think that's what did the trick.
