Bad Request (Name contains invalid characters)

[zekesdad]

on the latest alpha build on my rt-ac68u. Im trying to access Emby and I get this error "
Bad Request (Name contains invalid characters)"
when going through my external dns: port(www.website.com:8096). If i use my internet's IP address: port(174.xxx.xxx.xxx: 8096) , it works fine. Can still access webmin, plex, ssh, website all just fine through the dns, but just emby is weird. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I don't think the error shows.

Shows what?

Shows what?

What is the error you get?
[EDIT]
Ok, I understand the error is in your post topic.
You better also mention it in the post itself.

Hmm...why not continue the support request here:

Because they said it was a networking issue, not an emby error.

Disregarding the networking side of things, are ther any special characters or odd ones in the name, which I assume could be either the username or the corresponding password? And, for troubleshooting purposes, would it take much to change the name/password to something that couldn't possibly be objected to?

Sorry it took me so long to get back. Holiday's have been crazy. I tried accessing the same page in Chrome and it worked, so it was only in Firefox. I deleted cookies in Firefox and it worked again. No idea what happened or why, but I hope that helps someone in the future.

Well done. How often this happens: we spend ages chasing our tails thinking the problem lies in the router, and all the while the browser is the problem. I've seen Merlin solve snags in the past by suggesting either the browser cache be cleared or a different browser used.

hi
i dont know if this can help you but,
I got the same error when I tried to get acces to my server locally from my dns server. I just replaced the IP address with my domain and it works.
