Emby Connect failing through reverse proxy (Nginx Proxy Manager)

[Pittsie72 1]

I'm trying to make it easier on friends/family to connect to my server and started playing around with Emby Connect.

I run emby via docker and have it behind nginx proxymanger. There's 0 issues if I connect to my domain and site plug in my password ect. But if emby offers this feature I might as well take advantage of it. However once I log in with connect it tells me to manually add a server and I'm a bit confused as to why.

Only thing I could think is I have xxx.xxx.xxx.0 as my local ip range but then also xxx.xxx.xxx.244 (Nginx Proxy Manager) as remote?

This is my network page
LAN Networks: blank
Local IP address: blank
Local http port: 8096
Local https port: 443
Allow remote connections: on
Remote IP address filter: blank
Remote IP filter mode: whitelist
Remote http port: 80
Remote https port: 443
External Domain: emby.mydomain.com
Read proxy headers: yes Ssl: blank
Secure Connection mode: Handled by reverse proxy
Enable automatic port mapping: off
Video streams: unlimited
Bitrate limit: blank
Network request protocol: Automatic

I should note I followed the guide here as best I could but I'm a little confused on the headers and such as to where I enter that in the GUI

I assume you've configured each local user account with their Emby Connect email address they signed up with?

Your Network config looks fine, it shouldn't really matter but there's no real need to change the Local https port to 443 from 8920

Can you please expand on this though?

I changed that around but I had my "LAN Networks" as my internal IPs and tried adding my Nginx server though on an internal ip as the whitelisted external source with "Read Proxy headers" to no. This made it so all my traffic looked as though it came through that Nginx proxymanger at .244

 

I should also add external access works fine just not emby connect for some reason. After I login with connect it takes me to the manual add a server page

Have you linked your server with Emby connect?

You mean adding the email to a user? Yes. 

 

Something else odd. I just tried app.emby.media and instantly logged in with emby connect but when I deleted my android app and checked it still asked to manually add the server

Are you sure you signed in with Emby Connect using the android app?

I don't really understand what changed but it was able to work on a Roku TV that previously has never had emby installed and is outside my home network

Yes

From the point of installing the app, what exactly did you do?

Enter my email and password click sign in, then it shows recent servers as my server.

 

Maybe I'm confusing that screen?

And what happens if you click on your server?

Now it let's me in. Before I had to login with local creds
