Samsung Smart TV Emby states Emby Premiere required

[Groentjuh 0]

My Emby server (version: 4.9.5.0) states: "Je hebt een Lifetime Emby Premiere plan en je toestelgebruik is ruim binnen je limiet."

The Emby app (version: 2.3.7) on my Samsung Smart TV states I need Emby Premiere when trying to play Live TV from the server mentioned above.

Was your TV connected to the Internet at the time?

Well, it was connected to the LAN-network (otherwise no emby server) and I was using the same LAN-network from this PC to download updates and post this. But I did not verify the TV itself believed it had internet access. There's no reason it wouldn't have had it, but Samsung TVs can sometimes be a pain about that... I didn't do a reboot of the TV (by unplugging it) either.

However it seems that it decided to fix itself now...

So does that mean if my internet provider were to have issues, emby can't do live-TV (I get TV-signals from another provider...)?

Every so often Emby verifies your key which requires Internet.  LiveTV is one of the things which requires a key and will trigger that process.

The link below may describe it a little better.
