Problem sending commands via emby connect

[spitefulgod 6]

Guys I'm getting the following error when connecting into to Emby Connect and sending remote control commands to a client, the connection to the server is fine, I can pull details and query the server fine.  It works if a direct connection is used (direct to the server not via emby connect) but shows the following error otherwise...... What have a missed?

 

BTW the client is returned from the with the Sessions API with the ControllableByUserId set, so I know I should be able to control it.

Sorry I don't have the code here it seemed redundant without the variables, but I connect to emby get a list of server, connect to a server, get the exchange token, get a list of client, get a full list of media, all fine, but then the play to command on the connected client (in this case Edge or Emby Theratre) and the above error occurs.

 

Again it works if I connect to the server directly and not through emby connect.

can we see the full request including headers? thanks.

[spitefulgod 6]

Not sure I can there are so many request involved in the emby authentication, I'll try to dump the project on Github, I presume c# is OK for you guys?

[Luke 39995]

Well, what I was going to get at was that the command requests might be missing the required headers:

https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/wiki/Authentication

[spitefulgod 6]

Ahh problem solved!!!

 

I see, the authorisation header is

+  [2] {X-Emby-Authorization=MediaBrowser UserId="7614b613a6114a28b3d0563f9f3c9023", Client="EmbyVision", Device="Windows", DeviceId="b2b139bf-d6f7-4088-bfd5-6addd759e890", Version="1.0.0.0"} 

 

which is stale and used from the token exchange, switched to:
+  [2] {Authorization=MediaBrowser UserId="7614b613a6114a28b3d0563f9f3c9023", Client="EmbyVision", Device="Windows", DeviceId="b2b139bf-d6f7-4088-bfd5-6addd759e890", Version="1.0.0.0"} 

 

Now works fine, thanks for the help, amazing support here.

[Luke 39995]

The only change is X-Emby-Authorization to Authorization? Both should be accepted to be honest.

[spitefulgod 6]

There was that and the X-Token one (sorry can't remember the name) was duplicated twice (same data in both though). That may have been the issue, thanks for your help though, I'll check tonight to see what the specific change that stopped the error was.

[spitefulgod 6]

I have been unable to to replicate the original issue, I'll put this down to bad coding on my part or that I never had the Authorization code on at all maybe?

 

Anyway thanks for the help.

[Luke 39995]

Thanks for the info.
