Proxy server and Emby Connect

[Ninko 78]

Hi,

I've been using Emby via Synology proxy server for ages and it works great.

 

I'd like to try and use Emby via Alexa, but to do that I need to use Emby Connect, but so far regardless what settings I've changed, the server can't be reached by Emby Connect.

 

Is it possible to use a proxy server as well as Emby Connect?

 

Thanks

Yes it is. How are you testing?

Yes it is. How are you testing?

How'd you mean?

[Luke 42077]

what exactly are you doing?

[Ninko 78]

Right, I think I've managed to sort it but only if I point the proxy server to Emby's insecure port. In saying that, that's the way I had it setup even before, I never really understood why when using the proxy server a secure port can't point to Emby's secure port.

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks

I'm referring to a REVERSE proxy here, sorry only just occurred to me there's another type!

If you're going to use a reverse proxy then typically you would point it to the insecure port and then let your proxy handle https . What reverse proxy software are you using?

But why can't you use secure port to secure port, that's the bit I don't understand?

 

I'm using the Synology built-in server.

[Luke 42077]

Because you secure it at the outermost level, which in this case would be the proxy.

Right ok, fair enough.

I'm still having a problem though. I can get to my server when logging into Emby Connect now when I couldn't before, I've also linked Alexa to Emby but Alexa still says she can't connect to my server?

 

Thanks

Can you sign in with emby connect using emby apps?

[Ninko 78]

I can yes.
