mbnwa 49 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Seeing all the other apps support HTTPS and so far the Samsung app is the only app that does not support HTTPS can HTTPS support be added so I can close my HTTP port on Emby? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution cmcg 874 Posted January 3, 2016 Solution Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hi @@mbnwa I've tested this this morning and confirmed what I'd read in the SamsungD forum. It works in the emulator but unfortunately, https support between a Smart Hub device and a server running a self-signed certificate is not supported by Samsung. I doubt many users wish to purchase a commercial certificate just for this purpose so I do not think that https support will be added to this client. A few of the more technical users that hang out in this forum might disagree with me here. However, I imagine the average Emby user is running with the automatic self-signed certificate.

mbnwa 49 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) I use a commercial cert and I know others do as well - why not add a disclaimer or create an advanced option to enable HTTPS support? I think the HTTPS support should be added just to keep the feature set and allow those of us that want to close the HTTP port the option of doing so.

deadnex 6 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'm also using a commercial certificate and would love to see this feature in the app. A couple of my family members are using my Emby server and I had to set them up with Raspberry Pi's and kodi in order to utilize https...

cmcg 874 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The server generates it at install time. If you have an active HTTPS port then you have a certificate and if you've not installed your own commercial certificate then you're using the self-signed one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbnwa 49 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) @@cmcg $4.95 a year if you buy @ 3 years (or $8.95 for 1year) this is the cert that I run on my server and I managed to also be a paid supporter of Emby as well.... I don't think the SSL cert will break the bank for those that really want to utilize it's function and protect the streams leaving the LAN to remote locations.https://www.ssls.com/ Edited January 4, 2016 by mbnwa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6771 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 So to get https working in Emby server, I just need to open port 8920 on my router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbnwa 49 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 yup that should be the case if port 8920 is the port you have set for your local and remote HTTPS port in Advanced --> Hosting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xelar 4 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Well setting up your server with an let's encrypt certificate and have emby using it is actually super easy, that an average emby user, who is running it's own server should be able to achieve with a tutorial I guess. So that would be one thing, the other is having actual SSL support in all apps... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let the users decide their choise of security and add the option to use commercial certs I'm also using letsincrypt.org on windows server. For freeeee.
