how do I skip Emby Connect?

[wolflarson 1]

Hello,

 

How do I skip emby connect and just login to my server with url / user+pw?

 

I dont see any way to skip emby connect it just goes back and forth between "OK" and using a pin to login.

 

This is my second apple tv and the first one works just fine but I don't remember how setup went with it. They are both on the same subnet.

 

Thanks,

Wolf Larson

On the emby connect screen there is a button to skip the process and connect to a server manually.

Hello,

 

I am an emby user from China

 

I have some problems when using emby. 

 

I set up the emby server on the Synology NAS

 

And I'm watching it by Apple TV

 

After logging in to Apple TV for the first time

 

http://emby.media/link

 

Log in according to the verification code

 

But when I reopen Apple TV's emby, I need to verify the password

 

I'm sure my password is right

 

But I can't log in

 

Please help me.

 

Thank you very much

If you are from China, maybe your Apple TV hostname has non-ASCII chars and authentification does not work. Fix your Apple TV hostname and try again.

Do you have an Emby local server? As soon as I can, I will shutdown my local server to see what happens when there's no local server. If you don't want to use Emby connect, you have to click on Add Server. But I don't know if you get this screen when you don't have a local Emby server, I'll try later with my server down.

I do have an emby server but it wont detect automatically with DLNA (different vlans). I dont know how to get to that screen as you can see from the screenshots above If I hit "OK" on the Emby Connect PIN screen it just errors and asks me to do it again.

[vdatanet 1572]

Ok, when I can, I'll try to see what happens when there's not an autodiscovered server when you first login after first install.

[vdatanet 1572]

Yeah that's true. If no local servers are detected you can't skip emby connect. @@corey Can you look at this?

@@vdatanet -- I'll get this fixed up!

 

@@wolflarson -- In the mean time if you login to Emby Connect you'll get to a screen where you can add servers.

[wolflarson 1]

Thanks to everyone who has looked at this.

 

I'll move the apple TV to the server vlan, login, then move it back.

 

The whole reason I use Emby is not to have to use Emby Connect / any other cloud service to access my media.

Thanks again for taking a look!

I'm running 4.4.0.6 beta and am unable to add a local server. Using Emby Connect PIN with IP:PORT results in an immediate "oops something went wrong" unable to add ... 

I just used Emby like yesterday too on the older version but after upgrade to stable release, this started on the ATV4. I updated to the beta server component when I read this thread, assuming that 4.4.0.6 would be the "next beta release" but maybe I was wrong here?

 

Can anyone confirm the beta version that is supposed to contain the fix or provide a workaround? Thanks!

Hi, the fix that @@corey has mentioned will be in the next release of our Apple TV app.

I can’t login at all either (don’t use Emby connect)

On stable there‘s no way to skip Emby connect, on beta the „skip“ button only creates a new PIN for Emby connect..

[Luke 38825]

Ok, I apologize for this. The workaround for now is to use Emby Connect. We should have a new update out soon to resolve this. Thanks.

[horstepipe 364]

Workaround for me was to start an Emby server locally in my LAN as mentioned. But login fails to my remote server. That‘s my server address format:

https://domain.biz:443

 

Is this a known issue? I don’t have the problem on other Emby apps (WebOS, FireOS, Windows)

Post server log. Maybe tvOS is not accepting Server's SSL certificate.

[Luke 38825]

Maybe tvOS is not accepting Server's SSL certificate.

 

If this is the case then the traffic won't even show up in the server log.

[horstepipe 364]

Certificate is by Cloudflare so that should not be the issue. Will take a deeper look in the next days.

Hi there,

 

I also i have same problem.

 

Workaround was to connect on the same local network, launch emby on apple TV => automaticaly see the lan server => disconnect from it then "add new server" with external domain name https://www.myemby.com:443 for example.

 

Then power off an now working anywhere else fine.

 

SSL certifcate comes from lets encrypt.

[Luke 38825]

Thanks for the feedback. We should have an update on to resolve this very soon.

It has been a little over two months now. Is there any status on a release that will let users manually specify a server?

As far as I know, this has been fixed.
