Can't connect to non-root remote server URL

I have an Emby server behind a reverse-proxy at a non-root path on my domain. For example, https://mydomain.com/x/. On app.emby.media, if I try to connect to the server it will attempt to connect to https://mydomain.com/x:443/emby/system/info/public which is the incorrect path due to the ":443" being added. The solution is to just leave the port blank and Emby will then correct go to https://mydomain.com/x/emby/system/info/public.

 

The Roku app, however, does not let you use an empty port. This makes it impossible to connect to any server behind a non-root path.  As far as I can tell there's no workaround here that can be done from my end. The app would either need to allow an empty port or use some simple logic to place the port in the correct place.

Have you tried putting 00000 into roku?  

I think I remember that working as a workaround years ago, but have since switched to using a subdomain which is less prone to weird issues like this.

Yes, that would appear to be the workaround.

Thank you! Putting in all zeros worked!
