Cannot Connect to Server Through Emby App Only

[tomnjerry74 97]

Hello,

 

I just finished setting up my new Synology with Emby, but I am unable to externally connect outside of my network only in the emby app. To clarify, I can access the server over a web client by entering my domain, I cannot get the emby app to connect to the server.

 

I'm currently using Synology's built in reverse proxy solution and I have identical settings from this guide that I found here from @@CChris.

 

When I try to connect in the emby app, I'm using:

Host - https://my.emby.server

Port - 8096

 

And the server cannot connect.

 

Does anyone know why this is happening?

HI there, by default 8096 is the http port, so you would not use that for http. Try using the default 8920 https port.

Hi,

Unfortunately that did not work; it still can't connect.

 

I don't know if this is important to note but I have "Allow remote connects" turned off because everything is handled by the NAS.

Try comparing your nginx configuration to that of @@pir8radio.

Sorry, I'm not using nginx.

 

Would that be comparable to my virtual host entry?

 

 

and my config file is

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

Hey, I was able to solve this by simply keeping the "Port" entry blank in the Emby app when connecting to the server. Thanks for the help
