Question about Windows Firewall

[mosdef88 0]

Emby on the Roku is not working using Emby Connect. Started today, I have uninstalled the app, reinstalled, restarted the emby server and nothing is working. 

 

Roku Emby Version 3.0.175

Emby Server Version 4.2.1.0

Hi.  Please explain exactly what you are doing and what is happening.

 

Thanks.

 

How to Report a Problem

The emby app starts and provides the option to select the server. I select the correct server and it does not connect, the connection consistently get timed out.

Hi.  Is the server running?  Is it local or remote?  Can you get to the server dashboard from a PC?

The server is running and it is local and I am able to get to the server from the PC and run it.

From a PC other than the one the server is on?

 

Any number of things could be causing this (firewall, IP address changed, etc.) but, almost certainly, it is a network issue.

Are you able to connect from any other devices, such as a smart phone?

If it is a network issue then how can I tell and or rectify this? It is not working on my surface. It is working locally on the main PC

[ebr 16169]

You need to check things like your firewall settings and whether or not maybe the IP address of the server changed.

Thanks! I checked the Windows Firewall and it was indeed blocking it. All is good now!

Glad you got it going.
