Emby for macOS 2.2.33 - Returns to main menu, with playback continuing in the background

[Hoosiers317 16]

I am not sure how to describe this issue other than: I will be watching something and then suddenly the main menu will appear and the content will still be playing in the background.

It seems to correspond with `Reissuing access token: x_secret8_x` appearing in the log.

Hmm also...I had forgot...I was also getting a popup on my Shield TV last night that kept asking me to accept a token from Emby (or something along those lines).

This is what I see on my Android TV device.

Sure thing. Ironically, it just happened again before I saw your message.

OK we are looking into your issue with Emby for macOS.

This is normal. It should only happen once. You have to approve your server's SSL certificate if your iOS device doesn't trust it by default.
