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.
Already bought an app unlock in the past? Emby honors those previous purchases. Sign in to the same Apple, Google, or Amazon store account that originally bought the unlock, using the matching app/platform. Use Restore Purchase if the app offers it. If the purchase is not recognized, contact Cruv. New app unlocks are no longer the route for access. Never purchase Emby Premiere.
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.Discord. Include your device, app version, exact error, and when it happened. Never post your password.
