[Solved]Unable to connect to Sony BDP S5500 BR player

[Ottone 1]

Hi, I hope this is the right place to post this.

 

I installed emby on Mint 19.1 mate and the dashboard on localhost 8096 is all green and promising except...I don't see my bluray player among the devices.

On Windows I used Serviio and the connection was set in 1 2 3.

Any idea how to solve this?

Is your Blu-ray player DNLA compliant?

 

Does it see the rest of your network DNLA devices?

 

Did you forward port 8096 in your router?

Thanks for the prompt reply. Answers:

 

Yes

 

I don't have other devices

 

How can I do that?

I've been messing up with the settings and now it works. What did the trick I think was opening port 8096 in the firewall. Should have thought about it before but hey, newbie, right?

So you figured out how to port forward in your router?

I don't even know what that means...I simply set a rule for the firewall to open the port for incoming traffic, that's all
