Przemek 54 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Hello, is it possible to implement in Emby Quick Connect option like in Jellyfin or other apps for smart tv's? Sometimes it's difficult to put long passwords on some devices. Regards. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36880 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 HI, is this on the same local network as the emby server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mturcotteinfo 0 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Some people have difficult to connect because my url is long fir smart tv. So if we can use quickconnect for logging quickly for people who don't live with me. with jellyfin we can do it. I wonder why we can't do it with emby. regards.

Hi, Emby Connect is nice but sometimes cause troubles and it's difficult for some users. It will be great to have very easy connection: Just open Emby on smartphone or browser and generate PIN that will put in TV. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert87354 9 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I was thinking of giving Emby a chance, but Jellyfin seems to be better, Emby looks like Plex every time, he doesn't see the need for users, Emby Connect is not a solution, it complicates it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellyfin is fork of Emby so they both looks the same. Plex is different and more complicated and problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emby connect also only works for that that use it for authentication. It would be nice to have a solution that would work with local auth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean each local user needs to be connected to an Emby Connect account? I try to avoid setting up Emby Connect since it confuses users by requiring two sets of credentials to log in.Even if I set users to log in solely via Emby Connect, it will eventually ask for local credentials, especially when switching profiles. I want to get this working with the least friction for users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What ebr was saying was that one user asked for a pin code sign in process for TV's, and that's exactly what the Emby Connect feature does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is true that currently with emby connect you can use a pin to connect a TV quickly to your account it is also true that you cannot use a PIN for local only users. There are several users in this thread that are requesting a TV pin option for local users as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
