For some reason I'm not able to access Emby remotely outside of my house.  I previously did not have to set port forwarding on my router to access Emby remotely....it just worked.  But looking at my Netgear  Router R9000 to set up the port forwarding for Emby, its only allowing me to enter an IP address starting with 192.168.1.XX

 

The IP address showing in Emby for remote access is 24.243.74.227.  

 

I'm I'm missing something or should the remote access IP address be like 192.168.1.XX??

You should be using your local IP for port forwarding.

You should be using your local IP for port forwarding.

 

That's what I was thinking.  But when I go to the port forwarding settings on my router, and enter the IP address of my Synology NAS it says I cannot use it cause its already being used.  Right now I have port forwarding set up for Plex using the same IP address for my NAS with internal and external ports set as 32400. 

 

Would I have to delete the Plex port forwarding in order to add Emby?

 

EDIT:  Figured it out.....just added a comma and 8096 to the port and its working.
