zjeffer 6 Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) I log in with emby connect on app.emby.media on Firefox. I try to add a server, but when I click 'connect', it shows me the following error: https://i.imgur.com/fesyi4G.png This used to work, but a few weeks ago my public IP changed and I had to add the server again. Explicitly connecting with my IP address as the URL works fine, for both local and public IP. Today I figured out that it does work fine in Chromium, so there must be something wrong with Firefox. Both on linux. Server is on a raspberry pi. I added a copy of the debug console as an attachment. console-export-2019-10-3_19-26-57.txt Things I've tried: disabling all of my addons manually restarting Firefox in safemode (which among other things disables all addons) Tried the same thing in Windows: Edge & Chrome work fine, but Firefox (in or out of safemode) doesn't. What can I do to fix this? EDIT: I don't know what I did, but after weeks of this not working (and trying a couple times a week), I could suddenly add a server again. I have no clue how this happened. EDIT2: I edited the title now that I know the problem has something to do with https and not because of Firefox. Edited July 22, 2020 by zjeffer better title that more accurately describes the problem
Luke 39319 Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Hi there, does your Emby Server dashboard show your correct remote address?
Luke 39319 Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Ok well if it happens again then we can go from there. Thanks. 1
zjeffer 6 Posted July 21, 2020 Author Posted July 21, 2020 Hi, today I came across the same problem again on my Windows installation. So the exact same issue doesn't happen on Linux anymore, but it does on Windows. embyserver.txt shows nothing when trying to connect, but it works fine with Microsoft Edge. On firefox the console shows: begin connectToServer connectionmanager.js:526 tryReconnect: connectionmanager.js:546 In Edge, after tryReconnect it shows the server's IP address. In Firefox, it shows nothing. Connecting to the IP address using the browser's URL bar still works as it should.
Luke 39319 Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Do you have a firefox extension or firefox setting that might be causing this?
zjeffer 6 Posted July 22, 2020 Author Posted July 22, 2020 No, I tried Firefox's safe mode with tracking protection disabled.
Carlo 4530 Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Is this using the web server built into Emby Server? Do you get the same error/issue if using https://app.emby.media? 1

Well if it worked in normal mode I wouldn't have a problem ;) 1 hour ago, cayars said: Is this using the web server built into Emby Server? Yes, the Emby Server is running on my Raspberry Pi 4 and I'm connecting to its IP address from my computer on the same network, port 8096. 1 hour ago, cayars said: Do you get the same error/issue if using https://app.emby.media? Thanks for this question: I just noticed that it works fine with app.emby.media, but fails with https://app.emby.media. I found this to be the case for ALL browsers tested: Firefox on both Windows & Linux, Chromium on Linux and Edge on Windows. Same errors, same logs in browser console. This is probably why I thought it suddenly started working again when I posted the question last year; I probably started surfing to the http url instead of https: On 10/3/2019 at 7:59 PM, zjeffer said: I don't know what I did, but after weeks of this not working (and trying a couple times a week), I could suddenly add a server again. I have no clue how this happened. How can I troubleshoot this further, so it could work on both http and https? Thanks.
Carlo 4530 Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 https://app.emby.media does not work http://app.emby.media does work? Do you have SSL setup on your PI for external connections? 1

Correct 2 minutes ago, cayars said: Do you have SSL setup on your PI for external connections? Unless the Pi sets that up automatically, it isn't. I'll google how I can set it up and get back to you. Thanks.
Carlo 4530 Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 This knowledge base article is a good place to start: https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001849007-connectivity 1
Luke 39319 Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 If it's working with http://app.emby.media and not https://app.emby.media Then this either means you haven't setup SSL with your emby server, or the browser is not trusting your certificate. What kind of certificate are you using? 2
zjeffer 6 Posted July 23, 2020 Author Posted July 23, 2020 I haven't set up SSL yet on my server, I'll probably do that this weekend.
Luke 39319 Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 Ok then that's the reason why you're unable to use the https version. 1
