Jim_Messenger 0 Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I have been an Emby user for many, many years. But I am now stumped. I have Emby Server running on a Win11 PC. An Amazon Firestick is used to access the media files. Three weeks ago it worked fine. This week I cannot access the PC. The FStick can access my sons PC (5 miles away) via Internet. My Samsung Tablet (2018) can still access server. I am being plagued by Emby on the Fstick insisting on using "Connect" If I try manually entering IP address I just get in a loop - server not found. I never used "Connect" to set up the system. I have cleared FStick Cache etc - no cure. Reinstalled the App - no change. I've checked all the Server settings. Private Network, ensured Port 80 is added. Even added SMB1 ( an old Synology needed this ). All to no avail. One thing that has thrown me is that I originally logged in with a User Name {FirstName_Surname}. "Connect" insists on an email address and then forces me use a Pin - that does nothing to get access. Just loops - enter IP address, Server not found, Connect - rinse and repeat. I am at a loss which bit of kit is failing - PC or FStick. Any suggestions ? Jim.

Jim_Messenger 0 Posted 1 hour ago Author Posted 1 hour ago I now have a version of Emby on FStick that does not use "Connect". The basic "Connect to Server", Host, Port - CONNECT. Enter IP Address - Unable to Reach Server. I don't need https etc etc ? Just 192.xxx.x.xxx ? Using the same Firestick I can drop back to the first screen whereby I can access my sons Emby 5 miles away !! And I can still access my Server from Samsung Tablet. I can literally run a movie on the tablet whilst the FStick "Unable to Reach Server" Four feet away. Going Insane Jim
