Hi,

I've just noticed that when connecting to the Emby server by putting the information in manually you ain't presented with a list of users, you have to type in your username. Is that how it's meant to be?

make sure the "hide user from login screen" isn't selected.  also, make sure you give your users passwords once you do this.

Yeah I did all that, a users list is displayed on the Roku app, but not on the fire TV stick?

Hi.  Can you please use the button on that screen to send a log from the app and then come back here and tell me when you did that?

Not only is it not showing the usernames but it's not keeping me logged in either.

 

I sent the log as requested today, 28 April around 19:00 BST.

Is this a remote connection?  If so have you definitely confirmed that the NEW checkbox to hide for remote connections is not checked.  It is defaulted to checked.

Sorry, I didn't know the settings had changed recently.

I've changed that now so hopefully that will fix that problem. But would that stop the users login details being remembered and signing in automatically?

Thanks

It will not affect remembering and signing in automatically. It only impacts the authentication, meaning, if you do have to authenticate, it determines if you'll see the user displayed on the login screen or not.

 

Does this answer your question?

In that case the problem of not remembering login details remain then, only noticed it on the fire TV stick.

Can you please go over an exact example of this?

 

Thanks.

This has happened to me in the past.  Uninstall/reinstall the app solves it.

I'll try doing what @@mastrmind11 said first and get back to you. I can't do it straight away as it's at my father-in-law's.

Thanks
