use of https when accessing emby server

[Guest petwri]

Hey everybody,

 

I want to use my emby server when not at home and wanted to use it with ssl encryption. I use the standard 8096 port for non-secured access, and port 8920 for https. When I am in my local network, http://ip-of-emby-sever:8096 in the browser sends me to emby, however, https://ip-of-emby-sever:8920 doesn't, Chrome prints out that the connection is not private and does not connect to emby. In the settings of the emby server, the external WAN port is set both local and public to 8920, "Report https as external address" is checked. Am I missing something?

Chrome is providing the error because you are using a self signed certificate in emby. You should be able to click advanced and then proceed. This will allow you to access your serverbut HTTPS will have a line through it. The below urlgive a good review explaining the error and self signed certificates.
