JohnnyM 40 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I have a favorite URL in my Browser on my Samsung SmartTV. At some point in the last couple of weeks that link stopped working. The link is http://192.168.0.3:8096/Mediabrowser/dashboard/index.html. Now when I click on it, a white screen comes up with the Media Browser Logo in the upper left hand corner. The rest of the screen is blank. The link has been redirected to http://192.168.0.3/Mediabrowser/dashboard/login.html but there is no where to enter UserName or PW if I had one. My Sony SmartTV connects just fine. Any help would be appreciated. Attached is Server Log JohnnyM server-63540932817.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Do you have "hide this user from login screen" checked? Had the same result on the win 8.1 app. Dashboard-User-Advanced controls Version 3.0.5306.42925 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37060 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Unfortunately i don't have much ability to test this, but no reason it shouldn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyM 40 Posted July 14, 2014 Author Share Posted July 14, 2014 I only have one user and it has no PW but there is nothing to select a user. I'm on the Beta build. I did find a Media Browser under "Samsung Link". This provides me with folders of my media libraries and I can play movies thru it. Just a guess but I think this is a DNLA app. I will look at the Smart TV App when I get a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Unfortunately i don't have much ability to test this, but no reason it shouldn't work. Perhaps the new logic that is changing login behavior based on the origin of the request? Maybe it thinks the TV is remote and is trying to only allow manual login but that doesn't work on the TV or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyM 40 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 After I couldn't see the login, I tried selecting hide this user because I saw someone else suggest it but that made it so I couldn't get to MBC on main computer. So I set it back to original. Nothing was different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6771 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Just tried using the built-in browser on my Samsung TV (F8000) and I don't have an issue. My 2 users don't have passwords, so just selected one and logged in OK. I'm on the dev MBS build. @@JohnnyM - have you tried the Samsung Smart TV app for MB3 (http://mediabrowser.tv/community/index.php?/topic/5979-samsung-smart-tv-app-public-alpha-test) on your TV ?

CBers 6771 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 The Samsung Smart TV app works really well, even though it is still in beta. Not sure why you're not getting the login screen in the browser on your TV. Which model TV is it? Which URL are you using? I used http://IPADDRESS:8096/mediabrowser and I got the login screen.

JohnnyM 40 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 I tried your link and it returned with the login URL with a blank screen just like it has been returning. The TV Model is UN40EH5300F but there has been a lot of software updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it thinks the TV is remote and is trying to only allow manual login but that doesn't work on the TV or something? Sorry to be off topic but does this functionality currently exist? I was considering asking for a feature request to add the exact behavior. MB can require a password if the login is remote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried adding another bog-standard account and seeing if that shows up? Edited July 15, 2014 by CBers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37060 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 i put in some fixes for older browsers so once the current beta goes stable you'll have them. if it still fails we're going to need either an ipad gen 1 donation or a developer with the device to step up and debug it. it tests fine with last year's ipad mini. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyM 40 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 Follow up. I tried the app on my Sony TV today and got the same blank screen but I hit the enter button and guess what. The system responded with the home screen and the MB3 worked just fine and rapidly. Johnny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
