Clicking Browse Library bringing up plex? 🤔

[MiamiBulldog 0]

So I've been trying to fix my static ip and port forwarding so I can get Plex and Emby working, I did something wrong last night and now when i click emby in the taskbar it's bringing up Plex, I think I assigned Emby under network to Plex? Any idea how to change this aside from uninstalling or is that the only way? I want to run both as I keep having issues with Plex remote access so I want to have a backup server

it's literally bringing it up, i tried to change the network to the same port as plex i believe? I don't know how to reconfigure considering it won't let me open emby to confiugure

I also have tried to close and reopen Emby and restart Pc

I did it trying to get Emby remote working because I couldn't find the server on my phone or tv, so I was messing around with port forwarding and static ip...unfortunately I don't know enough and nobody replied yet on reddit lol

What happens if you just enter http://localhost:8096 in the browser?

nothing

Ok rather than 8096, what if you enter http://localhost:embyport

where embyport is the port that is configured in server settings. My guess is you configured it to use the same port as plex. Try shutting down Plex, leave it shut down, and then restart emby server.

You need to put them on different server ports. So you could try changing the emby server port back to the default of 8096, or something else that isn't already being used by another application.

ok thanks...I keep getting a connection failure when trying to connect remote now that I changed the port back to 8096
