davesurfer 18 Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 So away for a few days so I had the home theater PC turned off. Then when I turned it on, it loaded Emby but it looks like it couldn't find the server. So I restarted it again and then a black screen would come up after it loads Emby. The TV shows the resolution overlay information when it loads Emby, like it's switching resolutions or something. When I remotely connect to it (RDP), I see a big black square where Media Center is. What could've caused this? It's been running great for a while. Thanks! MBClassic-29920178658114674eb455896bf7a74788355b5.log
ebr 16169 Posted September 29, 2017 Posted September 29, 2017 The log looks fine except that it took over 60 seconds to start because your server IP address apparently changed and you had it configured to connect to the old one. That log may not be from when your black screen is happening though. It sounds like the app may not even be starting. Try putting WMC into windowed mode and see if that makes a difference. Sounds like it could be a display driver issue.

Also I forgot to mention that the emby server updated to the latest version before this. So I restarted the computer again and it came up now without any problems. But I wonder if I restart it again, will it work?
Luke 42077 Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 I guess we'll have to keep an eye on it, thanks.
roaddog1088 1 Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 same exact thing happens to me now too. Black screen and the app is completely frozen. Windowed mode does not help.
davesurfer 18 Posted October 7, 2017 Author Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) I guess we'll have to keep an eye on it, thanks. Ha! So it still does this. I'd gone to another room and come back finding it had loaded. For me it takes about a minute or so with the black screen, then Emby for WMC loads fine. Something is stalling it or it's waiting for something. Edited October 7, 2017 by davesurfer
ebr 16169 Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 In the log you posted, it tried to connect to 192.168.1.112:8096 and couldn't. It then fell back to automatic detection and found your server at 192.168.1.121:8096. Perhaps you have a typo in configuration somewhere..?

ebr 16169 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 "Advanced" tab of the config pages. You must be an Emby Admin user to see it.
davesurfer 18 Posted October 14, 2017 Author Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) "Advanced" tab of the config pages. You must be an Emby Admin user to see it. Oh ok, so where it says "Bind to local network address:" It's just empty, there's no IP address there. Am I looking in the right spot? Under Expert, then Advanced when logged in as admin on the dashboard? I think this is only for the http server right? Edited October 14, 2017 by davesurfer
Luke 42077 Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 It sounds like your configuration is fine then. Check the front page of the emby server dashboard. look at the local ip address that is displayed. is this correct?

davesurfer 18 Posted October 14, 2017 Author Posted October 14, 2017 It sounds like your configuration is fine then. Check the front page of the emby server dashboard. look at the local ip address that is displayed. is this correct? It has the correct .121 address in there yes
davesurfer 18 Posted October 14, 2017 Author Posted October 14, 2017 No, that's in the server. I'm talking about in EMC... Where is that?
ebr 16169 Posted October 14, 2017 Posted October 14, 2017 Where is that? "Advanced" tab of the config pages. You must be an Emby Admin user to see it. The configuration screen inside Emby for WMC.
davesurfer 18 Posted October 14, 2017 Author Posted October 14, 2017 The configuration screen inside Emby for WMC. So here's what it says inside Emby for WMC when logged in as admin (192.168.1.121 is correct):
davesurfer 18 Posted October 15, 2017 Author Posted October 15, 2017 Try decreasing the timeout to 8000 It actually only goes down to 20,000. However, I did hit the minus on the Connection setting to have it find the server on it's own, then I hit the plus sign to put the IP back in there. After that, it seems to start up without delay any more. I've restarted the computer and it's good now. Weird.
