justinrh 89 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I installed the WMC plugin. When it launches it shows my user name, I select my user, then it asks for the PIN. I type in the PIN and it says 'access denied, incorrect password'. What is wrong? Is there a log file that might give a clue? I use the same PIN to access the Emby web interface.

Luke 32469 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hi, where does it say this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 13707 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hi. Exactly what PIN are you entering? In Emby for WMC the "PIN" means the local password for the user you are trying to log in with. Not an Emby Connect PIN for instance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrh 89 Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 I'm using the PIN I set for the user account in Emby. That is the only PIN I have. I don't even know what "the local password for the user you are trying to log in with" means. I selected the Emby user in the WMC window; there is no local password for an Emby user.

ebr 13707 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Hi. Be sure you have installed the beta version of EMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrh 89 Posted December 1, 2020 Author Share Posted December 1, 2020 The Beta build allowed me to sign in. (Might want to scrap the stable build!) Why do I get this when I play media? What does it mean? The media plays, so access errors don't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 32469 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 You can make that go away by setting up optional network paths on the server: https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159320-optional-network-paths 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 13707 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 The items are probably playing at reduced quality and things like seeking may or may not work. Definitely look into what Luke pointed to above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jump007 0 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Hi, I am using Version 4.7.11.0 and have suddenly the same problem. When trying to access Emby in WMC, I can select the profile and then a PIN is requested (I never had that before). I have tried the Password I have set in Emby; no luck (access denied). I don't actually have a PIN for users in Windows (the HTPC is set up to start windows without password). Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By sign out I mean explicitly signing out so that you have to login again next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump007 0 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Hi Luke, After signing out (web interface), I can just sign in by clicking on sign in (without password). I have the setting " don't require a password on the local network"... However, in WMC it asks me to select a profile and then a PIN (which I don't have)...

Emby for Wmc is not compatible with emby server 4.7.11. you'll need to use an older version of emby server. Have you tried our emby theater app? https://emby.media/download.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump007 0 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Yes, I did leave it blank. Same result. I have not tried the emby theater app. I would be happy to replace WMC, but as far as I understand, Emby Theater does not support the Australian EPG and my existing 4 Tuners: (AVerMedia A188 and Winfast DVT 2000 DS) - is this correct?. Where can I find an older version of Emby Server? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @jump007 yes, but you could install NextPVR, and then import those into Emby Server Live TV using the Next PVR plugin for Emby Server. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.
