pwhodges 1531 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Changes have been made in the beta of Emby 4.8 which it is hope will make this less likely to happen in the next version, or even prevent it altogether. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironblack 0 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Same problem here: emby used to work for ages on a domain I own, with LetsEncrypt SSL certificate on the reverse proxy. DNS on CloudFlare. I am on emby 4.7.11.0 Today, my whole domain was flagged as deceptive... any tips except requesting reconsideration to Google? I read in the thread that 4.8.0 should help, is it confirmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJambo 2 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Same, whole domain flagged as deceptive, through Cloudflare tunnel, with cloudflare managing all of the certs, so it's not that. Taken Emby offline until a resolution is clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37070 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 If you don't want to jump up to the 4.8 beta server, just locate index.html in the server install folder /dashboard-iu.... and then remove the meta tags and also change the tags with values of Emby to something of your own name. You'll need to restart the server and then connected browsers will need to clear their caches in order to verify the changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updated to 4.8 Beta, but not sure the login page changes enough to satisfy Google's flaggers. I'm running docker so not sure if it's really possible to change the index page.

TheJambo 2 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 OK my attempt using only the controls given by the server: Updated to 4.8 beta, with better meta-tags on login screen. Changed Accent colour Changed server name to somethiing likely to be semi-unique. Added a disclaimer text to the bottom of the login screen. Hopefully, this will be enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Droid 644 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 Is everyone getting flagged on port 443 or are servers on other ports getting hit with this as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianaguy 2 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 To add to these comments.. My domain was flagged as deceptive as well like a week or two ago. I did fill out their little popup that comes about and put that it was a personal server. after clearing cache etc i do not see the deceptive warning anymore. but I also had several people having connections issues lately. I was able to look into the users router today and spectrum has a security shield setup that was blocking my domain. I'd say their security shield blocking my domain.... more than likely had to do with google listing it as deceptive. So if you having users having issues i'd def look into that.

exus 10 Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 I edited the meta tags yesterday and sent a review request on google search console, they removed the block few minutes ago 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkZrobe 3 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Put in asking for a review and updated to 4.8. Will update when I know more. My server is behind a nginx reverse proxy as emby.domain.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkZrobe 3 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 At this time Google reversed the flag. Will update if it comes back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITGuy1024 13 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Happened to me today. Tried to roll out an SSL to my domain and it was flagged in a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthmo 10 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) I've been seeing the same issue for a couple of weeks now. Google is flagging everything coming from my domain (including emails from Ombi) as unsafe. When I look at the Google Search Search Console/Security & Manual Actions Page I only see Emby pages being listed as deceptive pages. No recent changes on my side other than keeping up to date with Emby releases. I'm running Emby 4.7.11.0 Edited May 4, 2023 by worthmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worthmo 10 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 There is a disclaimer for the beta channel that recommends a re-install if you switch back to the stable channel. Is there a timeline for when 4.8 might be released? I would prefer not to re-install to move back to the stable version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worthmo 10 Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I downloaded the portable version of 4.8.0.34 and looked at the index.html file. Does this version contain the fix? I see the same meta data tags that is in the 4.7.11.0 version. I manually removed the followings tags, cycled the server, and requested a review from google. I will see if they clear out the warning and if it gets flagged again. <meta name="description" content="Emby Server"> <meta name="application-name" content="Emby"> <meta property="og:title" content="Emby"> <meta property="og:site_name" content="Emby"> <meta property="og:url" content="https://emby.media"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimestrike 2 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Can anyone confirm how long it's taken Google to delist your site after updating the site and sending a request to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I registered the page with my google account here: https://search.google.com/search-console? Then filed to be reviewed after I updated to 4.8 and did a manual review of my webserver for anything fishy. 12 hours later they removed it.

Animosity022 6 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I'm always amazed how I come back to try out Emby again and it somehow breaks me in new and exciting ways. As others in this thread, my whole domain is flagged as deceptive as I loaded up the server like so many other people. I'm such a glutton for punishment yet I keep coming back and trying again to ultimately fail horrifically. Thank you DarkZrobe for posting that as I did the same thing hoping I can get my stuff fixed quickly as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
