Local Access / Select Server


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm having an absolute bugger of a time trying to connect to my server from the http://app.emby.media/#!/startup/selectserver.html side. I can access my media from http://localhost:8096/web/index.html#!/dashboard (Dashboard) but when I try and join the server from another device I can't. Part of the issue resides in the Dashboard not properly displaying the LAN access information 553fecaec65b0e71b81f417aa24537ca.png
In the guide it displays here: 4fc40a0c9f4262742f85e143ed97ce65.png

The troubleshooting process is at a halt then since I haven't even gotten to test the first step. Before I got a new computer the service worked fine, perhaps adding the new PC may have done something. I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Teebs,

Is this installed on Windows?  Server using Ethernet or Wifi?

How many LAN adapters installed?

Try turning off IP6.

If you open a cmd prompt on that machine and type in the following what do you get?

ipconfig /all

Can you upload your Emby server log as an attachement?

Have not tried turning of IP6, will do that after a reboot and update any changes here.

IPCONFIG /ALL

It doesn't even look like IP6 is on?

IPv6 is enabled as you can see both adapters have a IPv6 address, but you have two different networks 10.x.x.x and 192.x.x.x so which network should Emby be bound to and present?  Enter that address into Dashboard-Network  Local IP address:

Remove PIA VPN service and it should function properly.

Binding the 192.168.0.101 should work.  Assuming a static/reserved ip address on this system

Please let us know if these suggestions help. Thanks.

I disabled the VPN and bound the Local IP to 192.168.0.101. No dice. Any other approach?

What is your Network type?  Private or Public  (Windows icon and type network status) 

To me it sounds like a firewall issue at least for the LAN.

Besides what Happy2Play mentioned about the firewall.

Could be the local route table (VPNs don't always clean up well, most do). Emby should be restarted after the VPN change. If you still don't get an IP showing up on it's reboot your router as well.

What do you get with "ipconfig /all" now?  how about a "route print" ?

I tried setting AVG to passive mode and vice versa with Windows Firewall. No luck there. The Emby server executable is also allowed through Firewall, so that's good. My ipconfig info was unchanged after rebooting. The thing that fixed my problem, to my knowledge is changing the server name. For whatever reason it allowed the local address to show after restarting the server. Weird.. it's working now though. Thanks for the suggestions everyone, it helped narrow the issue down. Much appreciated

Why did you change the port?  Are you sure the proper port is being allowed via the firewall(s)?
