Common causes and solutions:
- ❌ Wrong:
http://your-server.com:8096 - ✅ Correct:
https://your-server.com:8096 - Why? Modern browsers and Stremio require secure connections for security. HTTP connections are blocked by default.
- ❌ Wrong: Your Emby Connect email/password
- ✅ Correct: Your server username/password (the ones you use to log into your server web interface)
- Where to get them? Go to your server web interface → Users → Your username → Edit → Set a password if you haven't already
- Note: These are the same credentials you use when logging into your server directly in a browser.
- ❌ Wrong:
localhost:8096or127.0.0.1:8096 - ✅ Correct: Your public HTTPS URL (e.g.,
https://your-domain.com:8096) - Why? The addon runs on the internet and needs to reach your server from outside your network.
- Make sure your server is accessible via HTTPS from outside your local network
- Setup needed: Configure your router/firewall to forward HTTPS traffic to your server
- Alternative: Use a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy) or VPN solution to expose your server securely
