Emby server linux install not working
by fguarneri@gmail.com from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5FRPX)
I have a windows 10 machine running Emby server and its running fine. Using Firestick as client to watch the content.
I have now inherited an older machine and installed LXLE Linux (Ubuntu variant) with the hope of using this machine as my Emby server. To test it, I installed the deb file from the Emby web site and followed the steps to install. I made a movies directory in my /home and place 2 movies in there. I then opened a web browser to http://localhost:8096 and Emby showed me my 2 movies. A status check in terminal; sudo systemctl status emby-server.service, showed Emby active.
When I use my Windows/Mac machines (and Firestick) to access this server, it refuses to connect and shows no server at the local server address.
Looks like setting up an Emby server on Linux is more complex than expected.
What am I missing?
Thank you all for your help!
