Hi, did you register with the same email that you’re trying to enter?

Please provide the server log from when you get that error.

thank you in advance. I have tried with existing users and new test users to save the email, but get this error every time.

You're getting HTTP 500 response, which typically indicates generic back-end issue (likely), but doesn't completely exclude frontend issue (less likely). You could try doing a hard refresh, clear browsing data or just use another browser. 

Anyway, @ebrwill see the log and recheck/reconfirm everything is in order at Emby's side. 

As a side note, your log is flooded with Backup & Restore plugin errors due to no write access, you might wanna review your permissions.

thank you. I am closing this. I have a customer domain now and find it easier with my setup.
