Emby Change default Port on Version 3.5.0.0

 

 

I am very disappointed :-/

 

I pay for emby each year to support you

 

 

But since the update I can not use old users

 

And I can not change the port which is very bad

 

 

I use Ubuntu 64 bit

What port are you trying to use? What user are you running Emby server as? Linux doesn't allow the binding of ports below 1024 for non root users.

I'm on Ubuntu as a root user

 

 

I do not have to write sudo because there is root

 

I'm trying to change port 90

 

I can live with the fact that I have to recreate all users

 

but I do not live with the fact that you can not change the port

Why do you feel that you can't change the port? what happens when you try?

[SilentStorm 0]

I change the port in 90 and after rebooting the emby server

 

emby can still be reached via port 8096

 

although port 90 can be seen in the Admin Control Panel

## To change the defaults add any of the following settings below the comments

##

## EMBY_USER=       #$EMBY_USER, username to run Emby under, the default is emby

## EMBY_GROUP=      #$EMBY_GROUP, Emby server group where Emby user belongs

EMBY_DIR=/media/mymedia/emby_tmp

## EMBY_BIN=        #$EMBY_BIN, full path of MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.exe the default is /usr/lib/emby-server/bin/MediaBrowser.Server.Mono.exe

EMBY_DATA=/media/mymedia/emby_tmp

## EMBY_PIDFILE=    #$EMBY_PIDFILE, the location of emby.pid, the default is /var/run/emby/emby-server.pid

## EMBY_ADD_OPTS=   #$EMBY_ADD_OPTS, additional options to pass to the Emby server executable, beyond ffmpeg, ffprobe and restart

## MONO_BIN=        #$MONO_BIN, full path of mono binary, the default is /usr/bin/mono-sgen

## MONO_OPTS=       #$MONO_OPTS, list of additional options to pass to mono binary

## MONO_ENV=        #$MONO_ENV, list of environment variables for running mono binary

##

## EXAMPLE if want to run as different user

EMBY_USER=root

## otherwise default emby is used

It looks like you are using our old (now legacy) install package. What is the architecture, x64?

These are not used by the new install package.

This should only be an example 

 

I have installed the new emby..... Version 3.5.3.0

 

 

 

I solved the problem differently

 

I have forwarded port done that way now, ports over 1024 are allowed I have chosen Port 2000

 

and then use Ubuntu port forwarding 

 

sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 90 -j REDIRECT --to-port 2000

 

it runs very good

 

maybe I can help someone with that

 

Sorry for the bad english

 

 

But last question can I take the old users to the new emby?

 

 

 

@Luke 

 

thanks for your help

Are these local users, or have you invited them via emby connect?

I'm using Linux and I've had no problem changing the port.  The recommended way I do this is by locating the system.xml file inside the /var/lib/emby/config directory.  There are 4 port numbers referenced.  Change them and then start the instance.  The only time I've ever seen something not working properly regarding changing the port was with Emby on KODI, but I'm working with Angel on resolving that.
