Hi @Wordenkimhave you setup your own Emby Server or are you trying to connect to someone else's server?

Hi i have no idea. It was set up for me through someone on here back in 2021

You'd know if you were running your own server, so you were given access to someone else's server.  It would seem that the server concerned is no longer available, and you'll need to contact the person who ran it for an update.

Your access to that server is nothing to do with Emby - they don't provide access to media at all, just the software - so no one else here can help.

@WordenkimOK let's ask this way. What Emby software do you have installed?

Do you have Emby Server installed?

What makes you think you do?

Do you have a running icon or evidence that the Emby Server application is installed and running on your computer? Can you provide screenshots?

Yes in order to help you we're trying to determine what exactly you have. Can you please show us exactly what software you have installed for Emby? Thanks !

There are ways of finding out if you have an Emby server - try searching for the file "EmbyServer.exe" (on a Windows system).

Do you have more than one machine?  Check both - a problem can occur in the communication between Windows machines as a result of Windows Update.

If you find the file, try taskmanager or whatever to see if it's running.  If it isn't, try starting it manually, and see if it runs, or gives an error message.

Also, if you are really running your own Emby server, somewhere you must have a significant amount of storage given over to the files it is serving you.  (Do these files change and update with time? - that would be yet another indication that you aren't running your own server.)
