Control of Settop Box no longer possible since ca 10 January 2024
In Switzerland and the UK the settop box can no longer be controlled as of ca 10 Jan 2024
It looks like the MQTT session is no longer connecting
UPDATE 25 Jan 2024: Solved for many countries, please use the latest v2.3.0 (or greater). Still working on the issue for GB
Issue may also impact other countries, I need user feedback to find out
Might be related - but I’m in the UK and also unable to connect and control set top box but logs indicate 401 error:
Failed to create session - Step 3 of 7:
Unable to login: 401 Unauthorized
I have checked credentials, they work. Account has no biometrics attached. Worked Dec last year (2023).
@Sholofly fixed in v2.2.15-beta.2, MQTT endpoint changed for CH, not sure about other countries yet
@jsiegenthaler Same issue in GB. v2.2.15 has not fixed this here. Let me know if you need any more details.
Hi @absreda and @Flatsphere I am working on a new version v2.3.0 and will release a beta today for testing. I would love to have some GB and IE users provide some test feedback. v2.3.0 contains adaptations that should fix the changed endpoints for all countries, but I need confirmation of the authentication sequence
Hi @absreda and @Flatsphere
I just published 2.3.0-beta.1 with fixes for the endpoints. Please test. If the authentication fails, please send me a full debug log with eosstb plugin debugging enabled at level 9 (ensure
"debugLevel": 9 exists in the eosstb config).
Send the logs to me by email. My email is my github username with a b between j and s, at that well known email service starting with g
@jsiegenthaler - no problem. I’ll be able to test in a couple of hours and will let you know. Many thanks.
@jsiegenthaler - sorry for the delay. The latest beta has solved the connection issue, but not if I use Method C (GB), only Method A works.
Unfortunately I then get the following error:

@Flatsphere that's great news! Can you send me the log showing the connection occurring? I'd like to see it with full debugging turned on, as @absreda cannot connect. Send the logs to me by email. My email is my github username with a b between j and s, at that well known email service starting with g
@jsiegenthaler - will do. I might not be able to email the log tonight, but will send them asap,
@jsiegenthaler Where do i find the changed code? Don't see it in your repo...
@Sholofly Sorry, I didn't publish the branch. Here it is: https://github.com/jsiegenthaler/homebridge-eosstb/tree/Add-auto-endpoint-detection
@jsiegenthaler - I have emailed you the logs. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
To all watching and reading this: the change to the GB logon sequence (and maybe also other countries...) is a change to using OAuth 2.0 with PKCE (Pixie) using a code challenge method of S256. This is an authentication method that I am not familiar with. I thus at the bottom of a very steep learning curve and really need the help of volunteers. If you have experience with use of OAuth and OAuth 2.0 - in any programming language - and are able to help, please get in touch via email. Read the comments above for my email address.
Hi All. 2.3.0-beta.3 has been published. Please try new Auth Method D with your valid credentials. Turn off the watchdog to prevent the watchdog from trying to restart the session and thus flooding the logs. Send me the logs by email - for logon fail and success please, remember to remove your real password.
Hi! For PL it also stopped working. The device is discovered correctly, but sending power key doesn’t turn on set-top box.
@wojtul2323 hi. I guess that means it did work in PL. I'll put PL in the confirmed list :) Have you tried the latest beta version? If it doesn't work, please send me logs with max debugging enabled
@wojtul2323 Good to hear. I'll prepare a release version shortly for all users
I am following this thread as I am struggling to get it working. I have tried all of the above. I just keep getting the following…
Failed to create session - Step 4 of 7: Unable to oauth authorize: 404 Not Found
Any advice would be appreciated.
@Thornton69 the GB authentication method changed in the last couple of weeks and I am trying to make the plugin work with the new authentication method. I appreciate all help I can get. Do you have any experience with authentication methods?
@jsiegenthaler i don't I'm afraid. I am a complete novice. I was reading your feed thinking you may have fixed the issue and I was the only one with the problem.
I hope you get to the bottom of it. Your service is one of the best on here. It has worked impeccably for me.
@Thornton69 I'll do my best. Not sure if my best will be enough. It's difficult. We'll see.
