Apple TV app can't connect to the server

Hi Team,

 

I have the server part deployed on MacOS (10.14.6) and application on Apple TV 4K. I bought Apple TV device a couple of days ago and installed Emby App on it, so I think that is the last version which is currently available in App Store. Apple TV and Server are on the same LAN network, that is a very simple deployment. When I try to connect to the server, App sees the server's account name. At first view, It looks okay, but when I click on account name pictogram the App changes the screen to the same one. I can even return to the previous screen (using the MENU button on the remote). I tried to connect to the server manually by the input the IP address of the server  - I saw the same issue. 

 

When I launched the server for the first time I used the password on the server's side. When I clicked to the account name on the Apple TV screen, I was asked for the password (expected), and after I input the password I observed the same issue (with the same screen every time as I clicked the server name). After that, I decided to delete the password but it didn't help, and I saw the same problem.

 

I tried to connect to the server from Android device and I didn't observe any issues with connection or streaming. Looks like the problem on the Apple TV side.

 

I did a hard reset of Apple TV box but it didn't help :(

 

Any ideas where the problems can be?

What's your Emby server version?

I have an Emby Server installed on a Macbook Air just for testing purposes, when I'm at home I will try to connect my Apple TV to it. I think I had no problem connecting to the Mac, but tonight I will check it with the latest versions.

As I expected, I had no problem connecting to an Emby server on a Mac from Apple TV, using my test server. Can you post your server log?

Thanks for your help, Vdatanet.

 

I'll send the link to the log to you directly.

Looks like the server doesn't give access due to credentials issue. But I didn't set a password for the account:

No, I think I don't use Emby Connect because of the server and client on the same LAN. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought Emby Connect is the feature which allows to connect to the server via WAN (from remote location), right?

My connectivity process is pretty straightforward: I open the client on Apple TV and on the application screen I see the account name which was set up on the server. Seems the client finds the server automatically on the LAN. Then I click on the account name button and ... nothing, just see the same screen. I tried to input IP address of the server manually  - no difference.

What's your Apple TV host name? Some users have reported problems when it contains non ASCII chars.

Thanks, Vdatanet!!! I changed the name to ASCII and it resolved the issue. 

 

Looks like a bug, but it's rather a cosmetic bug for me. 

 

Thank you again for your help. Much appreciate it!
