Hi, I've been trying to solve a problem where when i go to my emby server through a Web browser then it'll go through http not https even though https is set up correctly and working. I have the preferred but not required setting and I need to keep it that way because a one of my TVs doesn't support https and there were too many problems with it. 

 

PS: sorry for my English it's not my primary language

Hi, Have you tried changing the setting to required?

As I said I can't do that. If I do, emby on my TV will stop working

Why? Is your TV on the same network as your server?

If so it would still have access to port 8096. Even if it wasn't it would still work assuming you have loopback on your router and using a domain name.

When I had https only then I wouldn't be able to log in to any of the accounts. When i set it to prefered but not required then it starts working. I think it's the Samsung tv not supporting the https certificate I use but I'm not an expert on that.

Is the TV and your server in the same LAN?

If so just use the server IP and port 8096.

OK, what cert are you using?

I`m using certbot and then converting it to a .pfx certificate so i can put it in emby. I couldnt find any other way since this was the first time i`ve done something like this.. If you know a better way please let me know.

Hmm, I never heart of that cert before.
If that cert isn't recognized by your TV then yes you would have the exact problem you have, so that does seem likely.

Really the only way to "fix" this would be to switch certs or maybe put your server behind Cloudflare.
Other than that, REQUIRED couldn't be used as you already found out.

Certbot is made by LetsEncrypt and everybody on the forum was mentioning how they were using letsencrypt so i tried it. I'll try cloudflare. Do you have any other suggestions?

Unless I'm mistaken forcing https only applies to remote (WAN) connections. LAN connections (same subnet) shouldn't need or use https and local devices would not be forced to use it.

If for some reason your LAN subnet does not match what Emby "thinks" it is you can add it in the Network settings. Examples are shown right below the form field.

Pretty sure this issue was raised for TV.  @SamES

But without Required there will not be a redirect.

Ok. Then you shouldn't have a problem with the LetsEncrypt certs. However you might have a problem with your pfx file so let's look there.

Another thing, you don't want to rely on a redirect for apps. The browsers handle it fine but many apps choke on it. So setup the apps using host and port.

Make sure that to connect via https your are using the correct https port

  • https://<server>:8920

And for http only (on the TV)

  • Use port 8096

This is assuming you have not changed the port numbers

Check the port numbers on the dashboard
