Have you setup an ssl certificate?

Have you setup an ssl certificate?

yes, a self-signed certificate.

Ok, the browser will reject self signed certificates. You'll need a trusted cert.

OK, hope Emby support self signed certificates again.

 

I built my Emby server just for my family, I really doesn't need a trusted cert to tell my family my Emby‘s website is safe.

 

I know there is some free trusted cert  like “Let's Encrypt”, but I will need to apply for it every 3 months,  too much bother.

Renewing the let's encrypt cert takes less than 5 minutes and if you look around there are people who have automated the renewal as well. It's well worth investing a bit of time in.

It's not about what emby supports. If the browser rejects your self signed cert there's nothing emby can do to prevent that.

 

The only thing you might be able to do is configure the browser to allow it. Check the documentation for the browser you're using.

 

But I would suggest let's encrypt instead.

I'm not sure this is just the browser rejecting a self signed cert since it works and with 3.4.1.0.

Did anything change regarding how Emby automatically creates and uses self signed certs if the user doesn't provide one?  I know it was causing a lot of issues with Emby applications on platforms where you couldn't manually trust a certificate.

We don't create self signed certs. We haven't for quite some time now.

Ah sorry for posting incorrect info, I've been using a reverse proxy for https for a while.

 

@@CatSama while a real trusted cert would be better for many reasons, do you have a manually created self signed cert created and "Custom ssl certificate path:" configured in the Expert\Advanced settings page on Emby's dashboard?

Right, he may still have a self-signed cert from an older installation. He could try using it.

My country‘s ISP blocked all private IP's port 80, I can't finsh the Verification of Let's encrypt.
 
My self-signed cert has the same safety with Emby‘s homepage.

I'm sure it's not my browser's problem, Emby reject my self-signed cert after 3.4.1.0,and it really confuse me.

I'm not a programmer,I just want to built a home media server for my family,and now I give up.
 
Back to kodi and plex for now, and I know what I can do is just wait and hope Emby support self signed certificates again.

It does seem it's not liking something with your cert. My IPS also blocks port 80, and since they haven't rolled out a fix for certbot's TLS issues I also have been unable to auto-renew my certs for over 6 months. I've heard there's fix that's out, but certbot for Debian based distro's with the new protocol hasn't been released yet. :(

 

But this is somewhat academic, I use reverse proxy and Emby is http inside my local network, so I don't use certs in Emby. I haven't used a self cert in Emby in years in fact. My best guess is something is weird with your cert since others aren't getting the same issue. Something 3.4 doesn't care about but newer versions do. I'd remake my cert personally.
