Local IP in Recent History Always ::ffff:192.168.1.1

[jhoff80 94]

No matter what the local IP address is that I try connecting to Emby with, the Recent Activity in the Dashboard shows ::ffff:192.168.1.1.  (which is the IP of my router).

 

So far as I can tell, there's no negative effect of this other than the visual problem.

Nothing in the log files about it either, just that the HTTP Responses all are going to that address too.
 

This is in the beta 5800.1.

Seeing the same leading ffff here as well in the dashboard. But, it is not showing my router IP address afterward, but the IP address of the device I am on.

That is valid. that's what an ipv4 address looks like when mapped to ipv6

It shouldn't show the gateway/router though it should show the client ip.
I have yet to see Emby show the wrong ip but I don't have multiple nics either.

Ip address: ::ffff:192.168.151.7
Ip address: ::ffff:192.168.151.23

Is your router using an IPv6 Proxy for some reason? This can obscure the IP addresses reported to the server.

Just for the record, mine are mapping correctly:

 

EmbyMedia is online from Firefox 45.0

12/30/2015 11:57:50 am

Ip address: [::ffff:10.0.0.5]:57834

 

Westley is online from Westley's Roku

12/30/2015 11:22:19 am

 

Ip address: ::ffff:10.0.0.199

Okay, I think I discovered why this is happening.  It's because I am using the router's NAT loopback feature along with my domain name even when I'm on the local network.

 

So instead of using 192.168.1.124:8097, I always use remote.<domain>.com:8097.

 

If I manually type in the server IP address (ie 192.168.1.124:8097), it correctly shows each client PC's IP address.
