EmbyCon - Authetication Failed

[Zodler 18]

On a system where it worked before, now suddenly EmbyCon does not connect to my server. I have tried everything possible.

 

1- Completely reinstalled LibreElec. Upgraded to 8.2.5 from 8.2.4

2- installed and upgraded to Emby Server Version 3.6.0.58 beta from the stable one 3.5.

3- Tried EmbyCon from the Kodi repository and also the newest beta one that is not on the kodi repository.

4- The Emby addon works. This is the addon that changes the local kodi library.

 

Only EmbyCon doesn't connect. Here is the logs.

Yes!

 

Basically, there are 2 places, each has its own PC + Bitdefender and it's own Kodi Almogic player/client.

 

Running the same portable Emby server in both places (not at the same time of course). One works, one doesn't!

Thanks. Finally found it. Yes when I turn off all the features of Bitdefender, it starts to work. This is the new Bitdefender 2019 version. Before it worked.

 

Then I went step by step to turn on the features to find the feature. It is "Online Threat Prevention".

 

In notifications I found this

 

"

Privacy threat blocked

I added an exception for 192.168.1.100:8096 and now it works.

I did switch to HTTPS, it didn't work. I will test it again.

Thank you. Yes it works with HTTPS without Bitdefender rule.

 

After changing the port I had to reboot to make it work.
