can't connect from tv android emby client

[peppeg85 0]

Hello, i've installed Emby server on raspberry Pi 3, set up the emby user and connected an usb pen, connecting from the browser from a windows pc it works, i can enter with the user created for emby and can see the files loaded in the library.

I have also a Philips tv, installed the Emby client and when i try to connect with the same user and password used from chrome it doesn't work. tried also with connect, specifying the server ip and port, but it doesn't work. any suggestions?

i can browse also in the tv menu, and it recognize an emby server, but i can0t see the library files. 

what can I try

 

thank you

Hi there @peppeg85, what exactly happens when you try to connect?

it sais wrong username and password, but they are correct, it happens with emby for android tv app

How did you connect to your emby server using the android tv app? Did you manually enter the server ip address?

I tried both automatically (there was yet the username in the list), than with emby connect, i set the server ip address manually

anyway, sorry for ember, but i've installed minidlna on the rpi and a dlna client on the tv, now i have the shared folder on the home of the android tv and happy wife and daughter 

thanks for the support!

What you could do instead is try sideloading our standard Emby Android app:

https://emby.media/emby-for-android.html

I believe this will be able to connect and you'll get a prettier interface than what Dlna will offer.
