Emby server not connecting remotely from Emby app

[clarkss12 304]

Continuation of problem of not connecting remotely.  I was away from home today and tried to use the Emby app on my phone, no luck, would not connect.

 

Home now and doing some testing.  Using my cell phone with WiFi disconnected, using cellular data, to test.  I can connect using my Chrome browser on my Android phone using the WAN address, but not the Emby app.

 

It used to work, I rebooted the server device, but that still not help.  Emby server log attached.

 

thanks.

I am testing it now, when I open the app with WiFi disconnected and using my cellular data, it comes to the "select Server" screen.  It shows all my servers on my home network.

Strange, it is working now.........  using direct playing while playing live TV, using my data............

 

Only thing I did was reboot my server about an hour earlier.......... strange.......

 

It is doing a lot of buffering though.

It always tries the local connection first. Perhaps you just weren't' patient enough the first time? It can take a good 20 seconds to time out sometimes, and then move along to the remote address.
