Luke 42077 Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Is the lan address displayed on your server dashboard correct?
sirchewie 0 Posted December 4, 2019 Author Posted December 4, 2019 Yes, in my earlier post I added a screen shot with the LAN address.
ebr 16169 Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 Yes, in my earlier post I added a screen shot with the LAN address. Yes, but are you sure that is actually the correct IP address to access the server? Sometimes, with things like phantom network adapters, it might be incorrect.
sirchewie 0 Posted December 4, 2019 Author Posted December 4, 2019 I checked my Router admin page and this IP address is listed for the PC
Luke 42077 Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 Are you still not able to connect from other devices such as a smartphone?

sirchewie 0 Posted December 4, 2019 Author Posted December 4, 2019 Is it this message? Apparently it was a firewall issue. Thank you for your help. I forgot that I just changed routers as well and that triggered the firewall and I was not aware of it.
sirchewie 0 Posted December 5, 2019 Author Posted December 5, 2019 I've given up and gone back to Plex which works now. It's a pity as I really liked Emby.
Luke 42077 Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 I was just giving an example of how one person solved it. If we're talking about connections inside your local network then we should be focused more on the firewall of your server machine.
Fish21 1 Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 (edited) I am having the exact same issue as OP right now. Cannot figure out how to connect. I have done the following steps with no success: - forward port 8096 on router (TCP and UDP) - I have added a rule for port 8096 in the windows defender firewall (UDP and TCP) - I tried turning off the firewall completely I can access the server on de desktop running it. It displays the desktop IP address and port in the dashboard. IP settings of the Shield is set to DHCP The server is up to date. But I keep getting the same error message as OP when trying to add the server manually. Edited June 20, 2020 by Fish21

vagoss2006 1 Posted June 26, 2021 Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) I am having the same problem. I have literally given up. Was working perfectly fine for over a year and then it just crapped out on me and my nvidia shield and firestick refuse to see the server. Have uninstalled and installed again, have removed firewall, restarted. nothing works, even entered manually and does nothing. I am beyond frustrated and have no clue what to do. On my PC everything works fine. on my samsung S21+ I can connect no problem. on my wifes phone as well, connects no problem. Firestick and Nvidia shield refuse to see the server. I love emby and I'm considering going back to Plex even though I don't want to. Edited June 26, 2021 by vagoss2006

Please start a new thread with complete details of what you are doing and what is happening and we can probably help you find it. Thanks.
