Certain quirky things when viewing dashboard thru secure reverse proxy

[Dreakon13 132]

Hi, this has been a minor issue forever now but just wanted to make a thread and get your thoughts on it.

When I log into my admin user and view the dashboard through http://192.168.whatever.whatever:8096 ... little things like seeing a library scan in progress, or seeing the progress bar moving on any Now Playing items works fine, as expected.

When I log in through https://emby.blahblahblah.com/ ... those same things don't seem to move until I refresh the page.  For instance a family member is watching something, it's at 21:06 / 25:11 and it just sits there like it's paused.  I refresh the page and see it's actually at 22:52 / 25:11.  If a library scan is running, it looks like it isn't moving until I refresh the page and realize it's actually done.

These are very minor things, but I'm getting increasingly curious if there's a reason why that happens or if there's anything I can do about it.

Not sure if an embyserver log would help since everything is working fine, just isn't refreshing automatically when viewing the dashboard through the HTTPS (but works fine through HTTP/localhost).  Let me know if there's anything I can provide that would help?

Hi, have you compared your reverse proxy settings to this:

Even if you're not using nginx, most reverse proxies have a similar set of options.

@LukeThanks for the quick response.  It's all set up through a lot of Synology's automated processes so I think it would be hard to compare to that tit for tat.  But I can take a look.

 

EDIT: I took my phone off the network and the Android app wasn't refreshing either.  Put it back on my network and it worked fine.  Guessing it probably is a setting somewhere in my reverse proxy.  I'll mess with it a bit more tomorrow following that HOW TO when people aren't watching stuff.

Look for settings enabling web socket connections.

 

In an nginx config it's the lines: 

proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $http_connection;

Wow, I think all I had to do was go into my reverse proxy settings and click Create > WebSocket...

 

 

It added those two lines and my HTTPS looks like its refreshing that info as expected now.

Thank you!
