nate5532 1 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) I have the latest appletv and 2 servers (1 local, one external to my home). When connecting to my local server, I dont have to enter in my username and password. It works great! When I connect to the external server, it requires me to login. Unfortunately, I do need to switch back and forth, and the family isn't doing well with the password stuff. I have confirmed with the external server owner and there is no reason on their end that would require me to enter a password each time. I have both of these servers added to non appletv devices and it does NOT require a password when connecting to the external server (Roku, android tv, LG webOS). I also I am logged into Emby connect Any ideas on things I could try? Or other information I can provide?

GrimReaper 3301 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Maybe your topic title should read "remote server" instead of "local"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is the default behaviour that you always need to login with a password when connecting to a remote server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate5532 1 Posted February 21, 2023 Author Share Posted February 21, 2023 Thanks for taking a peek at this. I’ve got probably a dozen or more smart tvs (Rokus, android tvs, etc) hooked up to both servers and can 100% confirm that logging in to the external server is not necessary on those devices. This is just with the apple tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3301 Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) Not using AppleTV, Roku or LG - but AndroidTV app has a Login behavior selection as to 'Login as Selected User' or 'Remember Last User' (as well as 'Logoff Timeout'), meaning logging-in is still happening, it's just done automatically. Equivalent should be ticked 'Remember me' option in any of the ET variations. Edited February 21, 2023 by GrimReaper Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just with the apple tv. Is that the case even when you switch users, then come back to a remote user? Does it not ask for the password again?
