Hi there, where exactly are you experiencing this?

[wade d tower 2]

I've installed media browser on my roku and the emby server on my PC.

 

I go to media browser on my roku and scan for the server and it can't find it.

 

I've made sure the server is running and it still can't find it.

Firewall?

[wade d tower 2]

nope!

 

emby is allowed by my firewall

[CBers 7451]

Both server and Roku on the same subnet?

 

You say "media browser" on your Roku.

 

Isn't there an Emby channel you have to load?

 

Sorry, been a long time since I used a Roku.

 

If all seems OK, follow "How to Report a Problem".

hmmm??

 

the media browser channel on roku directed me to the emby site to dl the server.

I don't know if there is an emby channel but I will go look.

the roku and PC are hardwired to the router.

I tried adding manually with my IP but same result

what name is it referring to when asking for name or IP ??

hi

 

there was an emby channel but I'm getting the same results

 

just the endless rotating circle when trying to connect.

 

just so you know??  plex and everything else seem to connect just fine
