Chromecast with Google TV "Error connecting to server"

[timandsteffi 2]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup the Emby app on a Chromecast with Google TV. No matter how I enter the server I get a message "Error connecting to server" that flashes up for a few seconds and then dissapears. Nothing else happens and I'm left stuck at the setup screens of the app. I've tried:

- logging into Emby connecting using emby.media/pin:

* Enter manually, tried https://myserver.mydomain.com with port 443, and https://myserver.mydomain.com with Port set to blank

- Tried logout of connect and then enter 'IP' manually, Again specify both combos of https://myserver.mydomain.com with port 443, and https://myserver.mydomain.com

- I've tried logging into a different Emby server altogether, that's on a different physical server in another country. Same problem

No matter what I do I get "Error connecting to server" and then nothing else

If you log into your Emby Server with the web UI and go to DASHBOARD what does it show you for In-Home (LAN) access or Remote access?

You then use either of those depending if the server and client are on the same local network or if the server is remote (accessed via the Internet).

@timandsteffi are you still having an issue with this?

No, thanks for checking but the problem's gone away. I'm not sure how though. I rebooted the server that runs Emby, but I can't see any other change that was done. Possibly the Chromecast/Google TV device had an update and my rebooting of it too may have done something.

Also to answer cayars question "DASHBOARD what does it show you for In-Home (LAN) access or Remote access?". Unfortunately the IP's/URL's shown here are invalid, my Emby server runs inside and LXC container on a Linux host. The only way to access it is via the reverse proxy through https://mediaserver.mydomain.tld

Anyway since it's working it's all good, thanks for your replied
