Roku Won't Connect

[jjis2020 1]

I have Emby installed on Ubuntu 18.04, when I try to connect with the Emby app on Streaming Stick I get: "we're unable to connect to the selected server right now. please ensure it is running and try again."

 

I installed Emby on a Windows PC and set it up and the Roku will connect to that one.

Hi there, how are you trying to connect? Did you enter the server ip address into the Roku app?

Yes, I also tried through the Roku Media Player app and the Emby server was not there.

You may need to allow it through Ubuntu's firewall:

Have you looked at that?

I search the forum and found similar posts about the firewall. i allowed 1900,1901,8096,8920 and it's working. those the correct ports?

Yes exactly !
