Emby server is not announced

[johnsonb 12]

Hello. Well my Linux Emby partition 'blowed up real good' and since it is a dual boot machine I decided to use Emby under Windows. Well in Windows the server (v4.5.4.0) does not announce itself to two Roku boxes using the Beta and non-beta client. It is up and running. The only server show shows in the Emby client is the last server used that no longer exists.

I'm dead in the water.

The server log

Hi there, what does "does not announce itself" mean?

And I applauded myself just even remembering to include the log..... By announce itself I meant the server does not show up on the Roku screen as a server to choose from.

I tried to enter the server manually however it cannot find the server.

It just occurred to me this could be router based. I have automatic port mapping enabled in Emby and UPnP enabled in my Merlin based Router.

It is a firewall issue. If I turn the Win10 f/w off all is well in Emby land. Well one user account is acting odd however I will post that in the appropriate forum.

Thanks for the feedback.

You can delete this thread. Port forwarding saved the day! I should have looked at that first. Sorry for the trouble.
