mandeepmails 1 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Hi there, i'm a new emby user, just trying to explore the emby media server option at home after hearing a lot of good word. For some reason i'm unable to see my content on the Android TV. The app i've downloaded and when i launch it shows "emby" user and asks me to enter the password. No option to bypass it Does it require the paid subscription? if no, then i've also tried using my emby community credentials but no go. TO clarify, on pc browser i can access my emby media content and that's working great. In order to resolve the same over LAN i also checked the option to ignore asking for credentials over internal network... Any advice about the TV App ? emby-logs.log Edited May 19, 2021 by mandeepmails Adding logs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14944 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Hi. What version of the app did you install and from where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Happy2Play 8321 Posted May 19, 2021 Solution Share Posted May 19, 2021 Is there a reason you are on a OLD server? But a guess would be new client can not authenticate with old server. Info App: Application version: 4.3.1.0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandeepmails 1 Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 well, this is the App that came up when searched as "emby" usually with this Android TV if the app is outdated. i get to see option to update it and then launch. but this is what it is in this case. Thanks for jumping on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 You want to download the new version of the server which you can get here https://emby.media/download.html Follow the links on that page for any clients you need as well. In looking at your log file I see you setup a library pointing to a torrent folder. You really don't want to do this as these are "work in progress downloads" and won't have correct names and really not what you want. Do any downloading then rename your files properly and move them to the proper library folder. Here are a couple knowledge base articles to have a look at so you get started with the correct folder structures and file naming. https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159110-tv-naming https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159102-movie-naming Here's a good overview that links you to other articles https://support.emby.media/support/solutions/articles/44001159034-quick-start 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest version is 4.5.4. What version of the server do you have now? What version does it show in the Emby web interface? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandeepmails 1 Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 i personally think the issue is with the server itself. may be my bad on the credentials. but that again shouldn't be the case. Any way i can open the settings related to user credentials ? whenever i try to click on users it doesn't let me go there....other tabs/buttons/sections i can click on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandeepmails 1 Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 apologies, i see what you mean. first of all i used one article guide over the web that maybe had old version pointed to.... now the new server has been detected. after which i think i should restart my raspberry-pi4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlo 4330 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 There are many utils like filebot, Bulk Rename Utility, The Renamer, etc that can make quick work of creating the proper folder structure and file renaming so this doesn't need to be a manual process. I personally use filebot which works well for me but it's just one choice of many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandeepmails 1 Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 A question i have, appears to be i'm outdated a bit and was sleeping with plex on for years. But since that has been disappointing me with weird ui changes and inconsistencies.. i came on here and like it. Is there a way for me to choose myself which port i want my emby server to play on....other than 8096 Appreciate your all help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Absolutely. You can set both local and remote ports for normal and SSL connections in the NETWORK menu. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandeepmails 1 Posted May 19, 2021 Author Share Posted May 19, 2021 Cool. Will see if it's the winner at last. small observation - let's say in my directory i got 900+ movies and when i scroll down it's kinda walking in the dark literally. Again i think it could be still working on the posters/metadata downloading still. will check and figure it out. Thanks a lot guys. you're very helpful. Truly like this community and overwhelming support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
