Configuring the Emby application on your mobile device

When using the Emby application on mobile devices please note the host section should not contain the https:// part or the port its just the hostname for example.

nl1234.dediseedbox.com

In the port section on your mobile application you should enter your Emby custom port so if your Emby URL is,

nl1234.dediseedbox.com:2222

Your custom port would be 2222 its not 8096 or 8920
