zimny 3 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hi guys, With the latest 2 new releases of Emby for CentOS I'm not able to change display properties under my admin account. Anything I set over there is gone after re-login or reboot. There is also no save button but not sure if need it be there. Simple reporting the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37230 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Sounds like firefox browsing data is getting cleared. Can you check on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimny 3 Posted April 20, 2020 Author Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) So you mean that this setup is keep in browser cache????? With previous ver of Emby never have that issue Also this is happening with logoff and login again without closing browser or clear cache Edited April 20, 2020 by zimny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1561 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Same in Windows. Sometimes I just refresh the page and I have to log in again and go to the dashboard again and go to display again and change the dashboard to dark again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37230 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 So you mean that this setup is keep in browser cache????? With previous ver of Emby never have that issue Also this is happening with logoff and login again without closing browser or clear cache It depends on if the setting is a per device setting or per-user settings. Per user settings are saved on the server and will persist across devices. Device-specific settings will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimny 3 Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 I'm talking about "display" -> "Settings theme:" & "Enable backdrops" settings under server page. I believe this should be saved in server not browser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37230 Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Those are per device settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1561 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Can it be fixed please ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimny 3 Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 unfortunately we can't even address this issue because we are misleading by developers that this is device setup first time completely disappointment with this guys maybe something change in next edition for now you will be misleading by @@Luke about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37230 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Per device settings are stored in the device. Fix is the wrong word. Nothing needs to be fixed. What you're asking is can the behavior be changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1561 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Personally it seems to me something has changed as when set to Dark it stayed Dark. Could it be Firefox loosing settings if info gets cleared out, possibly as I try to chuck stuff out when the browser is closed, though I think the OP doesn't do that so much. It does seem to be fairly new. Is the default Theme Dark, as that never changes ? It would be nice if behaviour could, if necessary, be changed, though I guess thats easy for me to say.

Happy2Play 8351 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Only way I loose these setting in FireFox, Chrome, Edge, new Edge it to clear my browser cache. If Emby's cache/history is not maintained you will lose settings. This is not new behavior, only change is the default value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1561 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Oh well, I've been killing caches and stuff for years and it didn't do this, though admittedly I'm fairly new to Firefox. Also, does that mean the default has changed to Light ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrbee99 1561 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Yes Bugger. Thought I saw somewhere Luke said the default hadn't changed, but I'm not going to look it up cause then I'll prove myself wrong Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1561 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Does any of this explain why when I just clicked on refresh while on a TV Series detail screen it took me to the login/user page to login again and reset things to dark again ?

What is your connection to Emby? But I have seen this doing a forced page refresh with Remote ssl connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrbee99 1561 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 For me its all on the same physical machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8351 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 For me its all on the same physical machine. I have seen it though beta testing and it comes and goes. I am not currently seeing it happen on my testing machines. But if you are seeing Theme changes, then I would suspect something changing your browser cache.

arrbee99 1561 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Well if I understood you correctly you said the default theme for the dashboard changed to Light and that seems to get lost when I close Firefox and that setting gets cleared, so I have to set it to Dark again. I think this logging in thing when refreshing a page started about the same time, so I'm wondering if they're connected and if the logging in thing can be fixed, as I presume it shouldn't happen just by refreshing a page, maybe the theme thing can be fixed as well.

Okay with a quick test this is related to the "Remember Me" option on the manual login page. A browser Refresh cause a disconnect/reconnect as shown on your dashboard when you do a Refresh. So if set to require password on local network and your Refresh your browser without having "Remember Me" enabled on the user, you are not authenticated on the disconnect/reconnect Refresh. Happens in the three browsers I have tested. The theme issues can only be related to browser cache clearing. Or I believe Premiere validation also.

arrbee99 1561 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 In a browser I don't use the manual login page, just click on an icon and I'm straight in. Maybe I still need to do Remember Me (if I can find it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
