cobular 3 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I was wondering if there was a way to permanently disable the prompt that pops up telling you to use Mozilla or Chrome when you login to the html5 client. It seems to reappear every time you login, it would be nicer if it reminded you once per user or something and then left you alone or if there was a setting on the server to remove the notification. I understand why the notification is there but I personally don't find Chrome suits my taste, mozilla can be a bit heavy on some devices and we don't all have the ability to install new software on all the machines we use. Thanks, love the new theatre btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37051 Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hi, it should only be periodically. If you're seeing it all the time then something else is going on such as browsing days getting cleared. Unrelated, but who not give opera a shot? Opera is based on chromium now which means you get all of the technical advanced made by chrome but without all of the Google stuff that you might not like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobular 3 Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Cheers for the response. I havent tried out Opera since it changed back ends... might just do that. So how often should I be seeing a notification? Once a day, week, month? Or just every time the server updates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37051 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Once or twice per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Does the notice rely on cookies or local storage? If it relies on cookies and you have a cleaner installed, it would come up repeatedly. If it relies on local storage and your browser is older, then it may not support that functionality.

Luke 37051 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 If it doesn't support localStorage at all then it's too old to run the app anyway. Running the browser in private mode (equivalent to chrome's incognito) will also cause this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobular 3 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Ok that sounds about right (once or twice a week). Would be good to be able to turn this off either server wide or per user. Definitely not a deal breaker though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37051 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I have never seen this message. What browser and version are you using? It is for internet explorer. The browser has issues that will never be fixed because Microsoft has moved all development over to Edge. Therefore I feel we owe it to our users to let them know about this before they get frustrated with the experience in IE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it's not properly identifying itself. CFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFC Edge identifies itself as every browser. It has a bit of an identity crisis at the moment. The mobile user agent for Edge is: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows Phone 10.0; Android <Android Version>; <Device Manufacturer>; <Device Model>) AppleWebKit/<WebKit Rev> (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/<Chrome Rev> Mobile Safari/<WebKit Rev> Edge/<EdgeHTML Rev>.<Windows Build> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBaron164 18 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) I run my Emby server on Server 2012 R2 which has IE 11 installed and Edge is not available for it so I get this prompt occasionally after reboots. So I have two questions: First: Is using IE 11 to manage the server potentially problematic and could it cause issues? I haven't had any as of yet but if it could break something I'd like to know. Second: Is there anyway of disabling that prompt via a config file or something just so I don't get prompted? I use Edge or the Apps for clients and I only use IE 11 from the server for management purposes. I keep my servers as streamlined as possible so as part of that I don't install third party browsers on them.

Luke 37051 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 To just manage the server it will be fine. When I have a chance I would like to just remove the prompt but take away certain video playback from IE. I would rather not have it at all then only have it half work.

RedBaron164 18 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Thanks, that sounds fine by me. I obviously don't need media playback capabilities when I'm RDP'd into a server :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
