runtimesandbox 153 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I'm trying to use the Emby app on the Fire Stick and am having trouble connecting. Server is running fine and I can access the URL on a pc. When i put in the URL and port of my emby server it can't ever connect? Is this because I am using a self signed certificate? (i remember reading the the chromecase couldn't work with a self signed certificate - i may be wrong) If this is the case, is there a guide on purchasing and installing an official certificate?

ebr 14949 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Correct. SSL is not fully implemented in this app. I'm sure it won't work with a self-signed certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteCube 6 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Correct. SSL is not fully implemented in this app. I'm sure it won't work with a self-signed certificate. how is the situation? does that still not work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14949 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 SSL should work fine as long as you can get the device to accept your certificate. On the Fire, that probably means a true cert instead of a self signed one though. Or, use a reverse-proxy solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteCube 6 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) SSL should work fine as long as you can get the device to accept your certificate. On the Fire, that probably means a true cert instead of a self signed one though. Or, use a reverse-proxy solution. I have a self signed certificate (Certbot 2048 Bit) For web i have a Nginx Proxy https on Port 443 with a Domain. With a Test its a A rated Certificate. Login works on FireTV with Port 443 but Streaming dont working, only 4 Secounds and laggs... I test 8920 and FireTV say "Cant connect to Server". (I have also create a pfx cert from my A rated certificate) Only 1 way work, i open 8096, Streaming and login work on FireTV. You mean that's just because it's a self-signed certificate? that's a shame just to buy a certificate :/ Edited May 11, 2018 by Seimann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37191 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 The question is whether the Android os accepts the cert by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteCube 6 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 The question is whether the Android os accepts the cert by default. Can i test this with Emby for Android (Smartphone) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37191 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteCube 6 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Yes. ok the difference is: on port 8920 open a dialog with "Click OK to accept the SSL certificate for this Emby Server" On FireTV no questtion dialog. Only cant access to the Server On Port 443 works direct without dialog But Streaming dont work on 443 without laggs on FireTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37191 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Ok so the fact that you're seeing the dialog confirms that Android doesn't' accept the cert. In the mobile app we added this dialog as a manual override a long time ago. At this point we would prefer to pursue trusted cert solutions as they will work with every app and don't require these kinds of manual overrides.
