Moved PC to new house and now Emby won't Work

[rb9999 6]

I recently moved and set up my PC at another house.  I changed by network setup slightly.  My main computer was hardwired to my modem/router and now I am on wifi.  But I don't think that should make a difference. I also have Google Wifi mesh network.  So i set everything up here and am using the same wifi SSID here that I had at my old house.  Again, shouldn't matter.

When I boot up my PC, I cannot connect to Emby Server.  I am getting "Problem loading Page."  I am trying to hit "http://localhost:8096/web/index.html#!/home" and that is what I get.  I can also try just the localhost:8096 piece and also replace localhost with 127.0.0.1 and it won't work.  All my other servers I have are running...Radarr, Sonarr etc.  They all connect fine to localhost, but Emby does not.

I tried restarting the server, nothing.  I also killed it and downloaded and reinstalled and nothing.  I went through the connection troubleshooting wiki and nothing.  I also cannot connect from other devices on my internal network either.

I have Emby Premium and was looking forward to getting everything setup here, but disappointed I can't get this going.  Will continue to work on it but was hoping someone would have a great idea.

 

PS. I also tried turning off all the Windows Firewall stuff and it still didn't work.

Was wanting to avoid this, but desperate times call for desperate measures.  I uninstalled the server and reinstalled.  Uninstall and choose not to remove all the configs and when you reinstall, Emby handles it gracefully and everything is in tact.  Not sure what the issue was, but it worked.

Glad you resolved it. Thanks for the feedback.

Apparently it has something to do with changing IP's. At my previous house I was hardwired and it worked. Then I changed my PC to Wifi and it stopped working. Then I uninstalled/reinstalled and it worked. Then I hardwired my pc back (to a google wifi but hardwired nonetheless) and it stopped working again. Then uninstall/reinstall to fix. 

 

Not sure why this is relevant when I am accessing a local resource, but that's what happened.

Thanks for the info.

Hi, Likely because the PC is multihomed with both Ethernet and Wifi and you're not turning one off to force the use of the other so Emby is seeing multiple IPs.

Not sure how you have things setup at present but I'd strive to make sure your Emby Server is hardwired and not using WIFI at all for it's own use.
