If you look at the image below you will see where the conflict lies. The In-Home (LAN) access IP address shown on the Emby Dashboard page is the one that shows up in the resetpassword.txt file. Looking at the actual IP address in the address field at the top of the web page clearly shows that is not the IP address for my server so I don't know how it comes up with the address listed on the Dashboard page. Prior to resetting the password, neither IP address would allow me to connect to the server. The actual IP address would prompt me for my password whereas the one shown on the web page would simply time out and never connect.

Problem solved! I was finally able to login to the Emby server in unRAID. One of the Admins at the Emby forum suggested that I substitute the actual IP address of the server with the one posted in the password reset text file that gets downloaded to my server. I did that and it connected immediately and allowed me to enter the PIN number from the text file. I now have access to Emby on my new Android box so I'm up and running. I had resorted to installing Kodi on the box so I could access all of the media from my server, but it literally took several days to scan everything and get it all set up. All of that is already done in Emby so that turned out to be completely unnecessary.

When you first set up a new device with Emby it asks for the user name and the password which I believe was used when you first set up and registered Emby. You can access Emby from a PC using the same login credentials, but I inadvertently replaced the password saved in my browser with one that I entered by accident and I am unable to reset it. When you try logging into the Emby docker in unRAID from a PC you get an option that says "Forgot Password?" If I select that option it downloads a text file to the cache drive as /appdata/binhex-emby/passwordreset.txt (see the attached text file). The text file has a URL that you connect to and enter a 4-digit PIN provided in the file that expires after about ten minutes. I cut and paste the URL in my browser and it just times out and never connects. I have tried it in several different web browsers both with and without my VPN turned on and it never connects. Without the password I can't connect to the Emby server in unRAID to set up my new streaming box. Is the password stored somewhere on the cache drive with the Emby docker file that would allow me to recover it? Here's a screenshot of the screen that pops up on my PC when I attempt to connect to the Emby server: Here's the screenshot when I select the user "Dave" from the first screen. The password it's asking for is the one that I no longer have access to and I am trying to reset. passwordreset.txt

I'm trying to set up a new onn. 4k Pro Android streaming box with Emby but I can't connect to the server to complete the setup. I'm using the latest binhex Emby docker in unRAID. I select the server or user or try to connect manually and can never get it to connect. I'm sure I've managed to hose up the password but every time I try to do a password reset I can't connect to the URL that I'm given in the password reset text document that gets downloaded to my cache drive in the binhex-emby folder. I've tried four different web browsers with the same result. I ran a Windows diagnostic in Microsoft Edge and it's telling me the device I'm trying to connect to is not responding so I'm kinda stuck. I've posted in the Emby forums but even the developers don't know what to tell me. I figure since this is happening with the docker that you would have a better idea of what's going on. FWIW, I use Emby an several Shields and a Roku box with no problems. I just can't get it to connect to the Emby docker on the new box without a password. I just need a way to reset my password that actually works.

I performed the flash drive upgrade but apparently the process has been changed slightly and it has not been reflected in the docs. Apparently there is no longer a need to enter your email address when clicking on the REPLACE KEY button. The new key appears to have been downloaded without my email address and gets installed once you acknowledge that the older flash drive has been blacklisted.

I've been using the same 1GB USB flash drive with unRAID for probably about 15 years now. I'm finding than anytime I want to upgrade the OS I have to make a backup of the 'previous' folder on the flash drive and then shut down the server. I pull the flash drive and insert it into my Windows 10 PC and then delete the contents of the 'previous' folder except for the license.txt file (not sure if that matters but I do it just to be safe). When I reboot the server with the flash drive I now have enough free storage to perform the OS update. The 'previous' folder is then updated with the backup of the current OS. Is there a process for upgrading to a larger flash drive without having to purchase a new license? The size of the drive was more than sufficient when I started using unRAID, but the OS has increased in size over the years so it just makes upgrading the OS a little less convenient as I have just described. Due to the age of the flash drive I'd rather not keep having to pull it from the server so frequently to perform an OS update. I'm currently running unRAID OS Pro with the latest 6.12.1. My server has 28 data drives with a total capacity of 208TB with two 8TB parity drives and a 1TB SSD cache drive.
