ebr 14863 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Hi. That is usually in indication that something on your network is interfering with the information between the devices. Are you going through a reverse proxy or anything like that? What version of the server and app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micksflick 0 Posted October 4, 2020 Author Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hi I am running the server on my home computer running windows 10 thinking its just running a proxy server the Emby server is 4.5.1.0 and the client on the 4K fire stick is the one on the app store cant find what version it is.

ebr 14863 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 How about any other security or anti-malware on your network. This problem almost always comes down to one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14863 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Okay, that looks fine which has me thinking something must be messing with it before it reaches the Fire Stick. You're sure there is no VPN or anything like that in play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've seen this in the past. It could be something you don't even suspect like something on your router... What version of the mobile app did you try? You should try the one in the test forum but, I can also possibly build you a test version of the TV app that logs the exact return from the server so maybe we can see what it is getting.

Mick Media 1 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Yep tried it on the fire stick it let's me log in then it shows my stuff I can stream then crashes back t to to Emby icon then when you try to open it again it just goes back to the Emby icon.

Luke 36888 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Ok thanks. Yes the playback crash is expected as that app doesn't have an amazon-compatible video player (yet). I just wanted to confirm that you could indeed log in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14863 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Thank you very much. Does look like something is maybe trying to encrypt or otherwise interfere with the network traffic. From the request you posted above, here is what the Fire TV is receiving: �UMo�:�/ï¿½ï¿½Ö ï¿½,�77q_ 8MP��=,É•M�" �rb��]I�S'n{ �����Ì��}��YT�G�����Y* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
