- Open Emby on your device and sign in with that account.
- Your server appears as Server <n>e. The number is on your dashboard: click the service, choose Options, then Advanced: direct server connection. If you see more than one server, choose that one.
- Pick something and press play.

My app asks for a server address, or to sign in again
Most people sign in with Emby Connect and never need an address. If your app asks for one, open Options, then Advanced: direct server connection on your dashboard. It shows the address and the port.
If that did not work, contact us and tell us: which service you have (Plex, Emby, Silo or AppBox), which device and app you are using, what the screen says (the exact words), and when it happened. See Contact us.
