Emby Connect

[BroserBros 0]

Does anyone understand what Emby Connect does? I take it from the beginning, log in to the Emby APP, go to https://app.emby.media/#!/startup/selectserver.html , add a server and log in to the server. Then I enter the code I received from the TV into https://emby.media/pin.html and there is no server in the results.

The strange thing is that even if I access app.emby.media from a different browser, these servers do not appear. What's the logic behind this and I don't understand why a built-in Quick Connect like Jellyfin isn't used? It's actually available everywhere as open source and it's very simple to do.

Hi.  That is not how Emby Connect works.  To use Emby Connect, you need to associate your Connect (this forum) account email address with a local user on your server.  Then that server will be available when you login using the PIN.

Is it possible to do this without an admin account?

Actually, what makes sense is as I wrote on the topic, right? I log in to my Emby Connect account from my computer, add a server and enter my password. Now this server is registered in my Emby Connect account and I shouldn't need to enter a password or IP when I log in from any device.

No, as the connection is applied at the user settings page in the server.

This is not how it works.  The "connection" to Emby Connect is done at the user configuration level in the server.  You cannot do this as a user of someone else's server.  They have to invite you.

I read the guide and still not sure how to -> you need to associate your Connect account email address with the local user on the server.
I used to have Emby Connect working without issue up until the big network change couple years back ? (dont ask, I cant remember), and since I had to manually enter my IP to Add A Server to Emby connect.  However, last week I was updated to a new IP by Comcrap and I am now remote and unable to log into my Emby Server since I do not know the IP.
I have always known that I am missing something but because the IP was static and known, I just dealt with it... until now.

HI, this sounds like you haven't linked your Emby Connect account with your server. Please start with that by following the instructions here:

If my users login with Emby Connect, will I have to option to adjust their display settings such as 'Theme' from my ADMIN profile and the changes will apply to theirs? Also does Emby connect save profile settings so that those settings don't have to be manually configured for each device?

Hi, yes all of that is still the same with or without Emby connect.
