I have a gut feeling that this is due to self signed certificates.

 

Luke, can you please allow self signed certificates for your NSURLConnection (or third party HTTP library)?

Yes it's related to self signed certs. We'll have to look into allowing them.

What's the status? I paid 5€ for the app and still can't use it...

Right now you would need a trusted cert on the server and installed on the device. We are not going to continue pursuing workarounds with self-signed certs due to the work required by every single app to handle them. Instead our plan is to revamp the server ssl around LetsEncrypt. I think the end result is going to be great but I can't offer an ETA on it. Thanks.

Self signed certificates are very common among home server owners. I can't get a signed certificate because I'd need a wildcard domain certificate and that's just too expensive. From experience I know that supporting self signed certificates in iOS is as easy as copy pasting a few lines of code...

hey

here is a workaround which works good for me.

- Create a letsencrypt certificate with the Synology assistant.

- export it

- you'll get 3 files (cert.pem, chain.pem, privkey.pem)

- convert them to .pfx format with

openssl pkcs12 -inkey privkey.pem -in cert.pem -certfile chain.pem -export -out mycert.pfx

- import the .pfx certificate in Emby

 

Regards
