Squiggley 0 Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Think this is still an issue I am being asked every time on nvidia shield tv for a password on local lan. It wasn't like that before I upgraded. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37085 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 @Squiggleyhave you configured the auto-login option in the app's settings? What version of the Emby app do you have installed on the Shield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker 4 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I have the same issue. Been using my account on local LAN password-free for years. Recently, Emby has been prompting me to enter a password when no password has ever been configured. I get the problem on Emby for FireTV and using the Emby LG app across multiple TVs. I don't get asked to login if I access Emby via a webpage on my PC. When I check the server, Emby is telling me that "Emby Server Updated to 4.8.1.0 on HTPC-TV" on 10th Feb, although we've been experiencing the issue for about a week before that. @LukeI haven't changed anything in any of the apps re: auto-logon. Where would I go to check that? As I can't login with my own (admin) account I am using my daughter's non-admin account as a workaround for now. Are app settings per-user or shared?

browned 33 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I got the login prompt on the local LAN as well. I noticed 2 accounts with padlocks on the icons on the login page. Once I typed the password and checked the auto login option was still setup in the app it hasn't prompted since. I noticed the app said I need to login to change the auto login settings.....but I was logged in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I apologize for the disruption. In the Emby app on the Shield, have you enabled the option in settings to control your login preference as desired? Also, have you checked out the new profile pin feature? This will allow you to have multiple users signed in and switch between them using pins. The Emby app on the Fire TV and for LG will both be getting that very soon. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the response @Lukeafter checking the forums I have found out it was an intentional change due to the possibility of local Lan being spoofed from the Wan. And as the forums suggested I only need to login once then it works on auto until I reboot. Quite a happy compromise if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37085 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 And for those using Emby for LG, version 1.0.41 has been released to the store tonight and it now supports the new profile pin feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bordenuk 2 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 For major functionality changes/breaking changes, I think a popup dialog box would be handy on first run of each client, to avoid threads like this, and/or us wasting 20 minutes going over and over and over the settings trying to find the option you removed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notla49285 46 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Why is this now an app setting rather than a server setting?! I dearly wish software companies would stop f***ing with things that work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the functionality changed from being an alternate authentication method to an additional layer of parental control and you would only want it on shared devices. You don't want to have to enter your PIN every time on your phone but you may on your TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notla49285 46 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I don't want to enter a PIN or a password into the TV, and I don't have kids so have no need for any kind of parental controls. The problem this causes now is I often use Emby (well, used to) via a browser, my browser cache is cleared often so now I need to enter my password every single time. It worked fine before, now it's a complete pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polaris70 9 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I have the same problem. In the Google Play Store, if you choose to download Emby TV, it keeps asking you for a username and password every time you want to sign in. The best way to avoid this is to download the Emby app only, not the Emby TV app. To use the Emby app, make sure to select the 'remember' radio button.
