Authentication Failed

Open polyboi opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I apologise if I'm missing something obvious but I keep trying to connect to my tvheadend server but I get "Connection Failed" and "Authentication Failed" messages. I had a look at the log file and it looks like this is the problem...

[C:HtspConnection] [M:run] [L:396] Exception while processing tcp selection key java.io.IOException at org.tvheadend.htsp.HtspConnection.processTcpSelectionKey(HtspConnection.java:425) at org.tvheadend.htsp.HtspConnection.run(HtspConnection.java:367)

I can connect using Kodi with the same credentials but I can't get it to work with TVHClient

I am using the latest docker version of tvheadend as maintained by the linuxserver group.

Same here. TVHeadend Server running on my Synology NAS, I can connect using KODI (from various devices and Kodi instances) using my credentials but connecting using this Android app leads to "authentication failed". I have also enabled generic user/pass with * on the TVHeadend server just for testing purposes but it does also not yield any success (same error with * as user and password).

I could authenticate by setting port 9882 to the web URL.

Some time ago I had the same problem: also could not connect using http://device:9982. But now it works again. Maybe tvheadend (running on raspberry pi) has been updated, the version installed now is tvheadend-armv6l/now 4.3-2315~gab6ea89b1~buster armhf.
