Is this your own Emby server you have control of? Are your users connected manually or using Emby connect?

My own server; I used emby connect, I've tried unsuccessfully to connect manually

This is inside your own LAN? If so, you can disregard Emby connect unless you want to connect remotely. If you are connect locally. Which is the case, when both the server and the Roku exist at your house. To avoid disruption during internet outages. I would configure the user manually so that if ever the internet isn't reachable you would still have access to your Emby server using that manually created user over your LAN.

Does it show any errors on the Roku (error numbers, error strings, anything?) when trying to connect manually? To recreate an entirely new install on the Roku you would need to delete all the Emby apps from that Roku. Then restart the Roku so it deletes the app cache stored for Emby. Then install Emby on the Roku again and start it. You will be presented as if it was the first time you've ever used the app. You should then choose to skip and connect manually.

After that enter everything matching the web dashboard for your LAN IP address and host. Then enter your username and password you assigned to that user in your Emby server settings when you set up that user. 

When you set a user up manually you set their password. They then must complete this challenge when presented with the password box on the Roku. With Emby Connect the password is the same as you would use on this forum to login to that user. You want to avoid using Emby Connect on a local connection because it requires working internet to log in. You might have times when the internet dips and then you are locked out of Emby on your Roku unless you at that time manually enter the information.
