Emby server dashboard shortcut

[Damob9k 2]

Hi,

 

I've just updated Emby server to 3.5.0.0 and have noticed that my server dashboard shortcuts no longer work.

 

 

I have a shortcut on my server and main desktop PC (neither are used to watch stuff on) which was pointing to : http://localhost:8096/web/dashboard.html (localhost replaced with the ip on my desktop PC)

 

And this was working fine before 3.5.0.0

 

 

But now it loads, then re-directs to http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8096/emby/web/index.html#!/home.html- the home page of my media collections.

 

 

I see that the new address for the dashboard is http://xx.xx.xx.xx:8096/emby/web/index.html#!/dashboard.html, but if I make a static desktop shortcut to this, it just re-directs to the media home page again !

 

Oddly, if I have my browser open (Opera 54.0) and launch the above address from the speed dial, it does go to the dashboard !

 

This is not a major issue, but it's a bit of an annoyance as I just want to be able to go straight to the server dashboard page when launching from my server or my main PC as I only generally use these for maintenance and tweaking.

 

Any ideas ?

 

Cheers

Hi, that's strange. The tray icon has a shortcut to jump right to the server dashboard. does that work?

Hi Luke,

 

I run Emby server as a service ... so no tray icon.

 

But most of the time i access emby dashboard from my main PC.

Ok, in my testing, this seems to work fine:

http://localhost:8096/web/index.html#!/dashboard.html

hmm, very odd then Luke ...

 

I just tried it with Opera, Edge and Internet Destroyer, and it does the same in all 3 !

 

I've tried setting the homepage to Nothing (i don't think that this settings has any effect loading of the initial page ?) but either way it doesn't make any difference.

 

I have another play, maybe try it not running as a service, not sure that will have any effect tho !

 

It's no biggy, I'll just have to do one extra click

 

Cheers
