Unable to add new users to Emby server

[mrt86 0]

Curious if anyone knows why my Emby server (Windows) won't allow me to add any new users? Every time I try to add someone the confirmation email never gets through to them. I have posted a log below with an attempt to add someone.

Never tried the Email but just adding them Locally and setting up a password is pretty easy.

The issue is probably a spam trap on the receiving end.

Remote access is still possible when setting up local accounts? Thanks for the reply! ( I will gove it a shot tonight).

I read a few topics on the forum about this. Hopefully not the case .

Yea, that term "Local" is probably a bit Mis-leading, but it just means setting up remote access locally. Be sure to go thru all the permissions and negate deletions, recording or whatever else you deem necessary. I added my Brother in St Louis and he connects just fine. Probably a good idea to hide your Admin account from the log-on screen unless you want remote users to have admin access.

Noted! Even when I tried to send an invite to that account Emby was telling me that user did not exist/email...(WHICH it does  I can log in to the forums, post stuff if I wanted to, change the account name/password) It seems to be some sort of issue with that specific account and email... I made a new account with a separate email and it seems to have worked. The account got the invite via email and now has access to the server locally. Going to run some remote tests tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks for the help thus far everyone!
