biwek86619 0 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 For the past few weeks, Emby for AppleTV keeps signing me out every other day. None of my other devices do this. The server isn’t rebooting or updating. It’s driving me crazy. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This problem by far is the biggest pain point I've had with Emby in quite a while. I don't personally have an Apple TV device, but I share with two family members who do and it's driving them crazy. It hasn't been a problem until recently (at least they haven't mentioned it to me until a few weeks ago) but they both have this issue. None of my other users who use other clients have any problems. There is another thread with quite a few comments about this problem. Back in February there were quite a few questions from the dev team. Since then, the same questions have been repeated a few times and there have been a couple "we're looking into it" posts. It would sure help me a lot to know that someone is still trying to investigate the issue or has any clue what might be causing it. I'm at the point where I'm about to roll back to older versions of Emby Server just to see if that helps, but I know that if the problem only shows up on the Emby client for Apple TV that it's unlikely to be a server issue. I don't know how to tell my family members how to roll back the Apple TV client version, or if that is even possible.

Luke 37066 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Hi, we are looking into it. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skuuup 24 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Yeah..this happens all the time. Particularly after Apple TV OS updates. Takes forever to put in my server address and password using the AppleTV remote. Any improvements to this are appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natelanxon 12 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 This has been happening to one family member of mine too. We have four people who use Apple TV with Emby problem-free, but one who repeatedly gets asked to generate a new Emby Connect PIN every few days.

Luke 37066 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I think we've got this resolved for the next update to the Emby Apple TV app. Thanks guys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lysdexik 0 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Im seeing this behavior on not just Apple TV devices, but also Android TV (built into Sony TV). Very frustrating. Has the new Emby version for ATV with the fix been pushed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried uninstalling / reinstalling the app on your TV? If the issue persists, I would create a new topic for the Android TV client so as not to derail this topic. Thanks.

EmbyOak 20 Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 So I’m at a friend’s cottage which I set up 6 or so months ago. It is an HD AppleTV. The ATV is set up for auto updates (and it is updated). The settings were still good from 6 months of inactivity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate5532 1 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Hi Luke, I’ve been having this issue for quite a while, but search for answers periodically when it drives me crazy (which brought me to post here). Here is a link to a post of mine back in feb I am connecting to a server that I don’t own I asked the server owner if they require passwords frequently and they said no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which version was this fixed in? the issue you describe should have been resolved back in v1.7.5 of the Apple TV app Quote The app was storing it's data in a place where the tvOS system may wipe it out at any point in time, so we had to move it elsewhere. See this thread where affected users reported it being solved: For completeness, have you tried completely uninstalling the app and reinstalling to clear any erroneous app data?

Luke 37066 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Hi, Emby Server 4.8 has a new profile pin feature for quickly switching users in Emby apps. We are working on getting an update out to Emby for Apple TV that supports this, so stay tuned for that. Apologies for the temporary disruption of having to sign in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
