Server API

[mataus 0]

Hi, I'm trying to add my Emby server API to Scrob tracker. Both are running in docker on my Synology NAS. Reading the link below it states it's under Expert drop down and Advanced then click Security. In my server I do not have these options. I have advanced and API. I have created an API and named it Scrob, when I put this into Scrob settings it doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi

The API key you created under Advanced → API Keys is correct. The documentation refers to an older Emby UI.

If both Scrob and Emby are running in Docker on your Synology, the most likely issue is the "server URL" in Scrob.

If you entered localhost or 127.0.0.1, Scrob is trying to connect to itself rather than the Emby container.

Try using your Synology's LAN IP instead, for example:

http://192.168.X.X:8096

Alternatively, if both containers are on the same Docker network, you can use the Emby container/service name:

http://emby-container-name:8096

What URL are you currently using in Scrob?

Thanks for the info. Yea I was using the Synology IP. Anyway I've managed to get it working, however like you said the documentation is outdated so that didn't help. I had to get my actual user ID number to input into Scrob. It wasn't clear how to do this. I went to users and clicked on the relevant user and it's the number you see at the end of the URL.
