linux server port conflict

[danpol 12]

I'm experimenting with a emby server on linux but i run into a problem with port forwarding

I have a nvidia shield server which works ok

i wanted to try linux server 

when i try to port forward 8096 there is a port conflict with the shield server which I have already port forwarded 8096

is there another port that I could use

 

thanks

You can use any arbitrary port on either of your servers, just change it in Settings>Network tab.

ok I sorted out the port problem but i have another problem

the playback stops every few seconds 

i have attached a log

Bunch of port mapping errors, do you have in Network settings Automatic port mapping enabled if so disable it and try again.

[danpol 12]

disabled Automatic port mapping 

now getting no compatible streams on everything

Again bunch of errors.

    SharpCifs.Smb.SmbException: SharpCifs.Smb.SmbException: Failed to connect to server

I would try to mount the smb path as a local path on the server machine.

 

[danpol 12]

how do i do that

Mount an SMB Share in Linux | Linode Docs

Forgot to say after mounting the share as a local directory, add those new directories as libraries on emby.

Is your smb share down?

Some options I can give you:

• Just as the user above said, mount the share to a local folder first, then import the local folder into emby server, instead of the smb share
• Use the 4.8 beta server, because 4.7 only supports SMB2. 4.8 supports SMB2 and SMB3.

But even on 4.8, I agree that the mounting approach is best.

ok I've added smb share 

can you check log and see if there are any problems

thanks

But did you try to connect to the server after mounting filesystem?, tried to play a video?, do you see any buggy behavior after that?

What did you enter?

	System.ArgumentException: System.ArgumentException: First Section Requires IP-Address Format: zappiti4kdv
	   at EzSmb.Paths.PathSet.Parse(String fullPath)
	   at EzSmb.Node.GetNode(String path, ParamSet paramSet, Boolean isDirectory)

	TargetSite: EzSmb.Paths.PathSet Parse(System.String)

I would use the ip address in the path and not the name of the server machine.

this is the way i did it

That’s strange. I would have expected that to work. Can you try using unc paths instead?

[danpol 12]

It is working 

but i still see some errors in log
