Web browser / WebView HTTPS on specified port number?

Hi

Was just seeing if I could run the Emby Media Server web GUI within Home Remote.

It works on HTTP specifying the port number but not on HTTPS.

http://192.168.1.101:8096 - Works

http://mydomainname.com:8096 - Works

https://mydomainname.com:8920 does not work and nothing loads.

I then tried the internal IP instead and that doesn’t work either.

https://192.168.1.101:8920

Any ideas as to why?

HTTPS does work OK for other sites like: https://music.youtube.com/

I can actually play video content, but cannot go in to full screen mode proper.

Thanks

I doubt this has anything to do with the port number. It’s probably because you are using a self-signed certificate. Try opening that URL in another web browser. See if it shows a certificate error.

It works for YouTube because they are using a trusted certificate.

It does I have to click Proceed to then have the web page load.

Chrome says:

NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

Is it possible to add buttons up at the top there instead ?

Thanks.

You can place buttons in the top right corner using “PrimaryCommands” on the ContentPage. You can not place them in the center like you have shown.

Thanks that works.

But looks like I cannot use my own icon images as its set as MonoChrome.

Also I wasn’t able to add any Triggers to change the icon image when IsPressed = True.

Works OK with inbuilt icons using Primary Commands.

I’ve added a Secondary Command button but it hasn’t appeared in the app, which area should it be shown in ?

Thanks

Those aren’t standard buttons so recoloring & additional features like IsPressed don’t work with them.

SecondaryCommands are those in the “…” menu. Edit & Refresh are SecondaryCommands in the screenshot below.

Your other option is to just hide the bar. You can set IsAppBarVisible to False. That will hide the top left menu button which opens the navigation menu. You can create your own button that has a menu though by using a MethodAction that calls App=>OpenNavigationPane.
