Unable to connect to configured server, but connected to configured server

[MovieServer42 1]

So, I open the Emby client on my Onn Streaming Stick (I use Emby over Emby for Android TV), and every time, it says unable to connect to configured server "server_name," but then it connects to the configured server a few seconds later. Sometimes playback will stop mid-playback without providing any sort of error, my network bandwidth is 500mbps, stream set to a maximum of 5mbps, cache is set to 512mb.

Not sure if this is your issue, but what happened to your F drive.

There are a lot of errors pointing to that drive in your logs.

F:\TV\Samurai Jack\Samurai Jack S02 (360p re-dvdrip)\Samurai Jack S02E06 XIX Jack Remembers the Past.mp4: No such file or directory

That was just me trying to play stuff while my drive was disconnected. I'm currently watching Futurama on that same drive

Hi.  Can you try searching for our standard android app (Just "Emby" on Amazon and "Emby for Android on Google) on the same device's app store and see how that compares?

Thanks.

I use Emby for Android. I've been using it since I set up the server because I don't like the UI for Emby for Android TV

That's not what your screenshots show, that's the Emby for Android TV interface. Perhaps you're getting the app names mixed up? 

Can you try the other app to see how it compares?

Thank you for catching that!! Emby for Android TV was the app I was using, and Emby for Android just synced up right away
