fix: lookup not working

[tomassasovsky 2]

Lookup works inconsistently. My setup is:

- Emby Server running on TrueNas Scale.
- Emby Theater is connected to the server, running on Windows 11.

Lookup also doesn't work consistently if I pause the video. It's really buggy.

I'm using version 4.7.14.0 of the Emby Server and version 3.0.20 of Emby Theater. If I also hit "Resume" it starts from the beginning, even if the movie was already started. See the attached video for evidence.

Hi there, let's look at an example. Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. Thanks!

Also, what do you mean by lookup?

[tomassasovsky 2]

By lookup, I mean moving to another point in the movie's timeline. Sorry, here's the logfile!

And thank you for the quick response!

Any updates on this?

It's pretty worrying that, as a paying customer, I can't even rely on the most basic funtionality that is resuming playback on a video or moving to another point in the video's timeline.

Another thing to note is, I was not able to reproduce this with Emby for Android. It does happen on both the web app and Emby Theater (Windows 11)

I've identified the issue:
This error occurs if I connect through my domain where I host my Emby server. However, I don't encounter this issue if I connect directly to the local IP address on my network where the server is. I think it may have something to do with the networking configuration. Here's my current config on the Network section in the Emby server:

I also have a Raspberry Pi running Nginx as a reversed proxy. Its config is pretty simple:
 

server {
  server_name mydomain.com;

  location / {
    proxy_pass http://192.168.50.55:10079/;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
    proxy_set_header Host $host;
    proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
  }

    listen [::]:443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
    include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
    ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot

} server {
    if ($host = mydomain.com) {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    } # managed by Certbot

    server_name mydomain.com;

    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    return 404; # managed by Certbot
}

Hi, please try comparing your nginx setup to this and see if it helps:

Thank you so much! That, and disabling Cloudflare Proxy worked!
