6 months ago Reading through the source code, it appears that the plugin does correctly authenticate and provide an sid for LIve TV in LiveTvService.cs:
public Task<MediaSourceInfo> GetChannelStream(string channelId, string streamId, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
_logger.LogInformation("[NextPVR] Start ChannelStream");
var baseUrl = Plugin.Instance.Configuration.WebServiceUrl;
_liveStreams++;
string streamUrl = $"{baseUrl}/live?channeloid={channelId}&client=jellyfin.{_liveStreams.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)}&sid={Sid}";
_logger.LogInformation("[NextPVR] Streaming {Url}", streamUrl);However there is no method to construct a valid recording stream URL in LiveTvService.cs, instead, in Responses/RecordingResponse.cs the recording stream is called with no sid:
if (i.File != null)
{
if (Plugin.Instance.Configuration.RecordingTransport == 2)
{
info.Url = i.File;
}
else
{
info.Url = $"{_baseUrl}/live?recording={i.Id}";
}
}
I don't know enough about how Jellyfin plugins work to risk tinkering with the source, but I hope this is helpful to anyone with the skills to fix the issue.

Hi,
I have NextPVR installed on my NAS, but Jellyfin runs on my Windows NUC HTPC as it has hardware capable of transcoding.
Live TV playback works in Jellyfin but unfortunately PVR recordings do not play. This is because the plugin does not authenticate with NextPVR when attempting to play the recording. Unathenticated streaming of LiveTV is supported, but streaming of recordings requires authetication, see here for confirmation of this from the NextPVR dev.
The Jellyfin transcode log shows that NextPVR returns a 500 error: FFmpeg.Transcode-2023-12-20_23-21-46_1a5350c68513569d84a57afb48a4aa7c_1ff5fe88.log
The nextpvr log shows that a required ID was not provided:
Streaming of recordings from the NextPVR server does work if a valid client sid is provided, this is the log when I successfully play the same file with Kodi's nextpvr plugin:
(id altered)
Hope the above helps in working out how to fix the issue. Let me know if you need any more logs.
