Smart TV App sign in and app unlock
Connect an LG, Samsung, Android TV, or Google TV television to Blackbeard’s Vault.
Before you start
- Have the username and password supplied after signing up on Discord. Use your username, not your email.
- Connect your device to the internet.
Install Emby
| TV system | Install the app |
|---|---|
| LG webOS | Emby for LG through the TV’s app store. |
| Samsung Tizen | Emby for Samsung through Samsung Apps where available. |
| Android TV / Google TV | Emby for Android TV through Google Play. |
Availability depends on TV model and region. For a Roku TV, follow Roku App Sign-In; for Fire TV, use the Fire TV guide.
Connect and sign in
- Open Emby. If it offers Emby Connect, choose Skip or the option to connect manually. Menu wording varies by app version.
- Choose Add Server if needed. In Host or the server-address field, enter
https://blackbeardsvault.com. Keephttps://and add no extra port or path. - If the app shows a separate Port field, leave it blank, then choose Connect or Connect to Server.
- Choose Manual Login if offered. Enter the Username and Password supplied on Discord, then select Sign In.
Expected result: the home screen shows your available libraries. Play a short part of a title to check the setup.
Emby Connect is optional and uses a separately linked Connect account. Your supplied server username and password belong on the server sign-in screen.
Playback access
TV playback rules differ by platform. LG, Samsung, Roku, and Apple TV have free full playback in Emby’s current feature matrix. Android TV / Google TV and Fire TV have a server-wide free-device allowance; a license-limit message is not proof that a trial expired.
Need an unlock, or seeing “Premiere Device Limit Exceeded”? Contact @Captain Cruv in #emby-support for a Jellyfin account. Do not buy an app unlock or Emby Premiere. Once Cruv has provided your account, follow Getting Started with Jellyfin.
Troubleshooting
- Cannot reach the server: copy
https://blackbeardsvault.comexactly and try the web client. - Sign-in rejected: check your username and password for extra spaces. Use the server login, not Emby Connect. Ask for account help if it still fails.
- Playback or licensing error: update the app, try another title, and report the exact message to support.
Contact @Captain Cruv in #emby-support on Discord. Include your device, app version, exact error, and when it happened. Never post your password.
