Luke 37068 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Hi there, what exactly happens when you try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mblanekatz Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 I try generate a pin and that is successful....then on the screen I see add a server (manual login does not connect) and sign in (a circle jerk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37068 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Did you try entering your server address? Are you trying to connect to your own Emby server, or someone else’s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamES 890 Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Maybe the server is trying to force a https (secure) connection which might not be supported on your TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest juanmartinbravo Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 I'm having the same issue. I run my Emby Server on Linux docker conteiner and the Emby client apps can connect without issues from web browser, Windows, Android, Android TV, iPhone, iPad, new LG's, new Samsung's,. But they keep failing to connect on Samsung tv's that are around 6 years ago. I believe the reason is due to he tv's not being able to connect to https servers because I had something similar in the Past with Plex with those exact same tv's. The problem I see is that even if I try to connect to http://myembyserver with port 80 I get redirected to https. How could we solve that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you probably need to use plain http, but check your server dashboard to confirm the correct port number, it's probably 8096 (not 80) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest juanmartinbravo Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Yeah it's already set that way 8096 is for the local server and 80 for the clients. As a matter of fact if I do http://myemby.tld:8096 on a web browser nothing gets opened. But I if do http://myemby.tld:80 then it gets redirected to the https url Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using the Samsung App, or are you trying to connect using the web browser on the TV? You should enter 8096 for the server port on the Samsung TV app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on your previous comments, it sounds like something you might me redirecting all port 80 traffic to https, which will be a problem if as the TV certs are probably unsupported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
