Cannot stream live TV with TVHeadend plugin, when authentication is active. #10

Describe the bug Cannot stream live TV with TVHeadend plugin, when authentication is active. When I disable authentication in TVHeadend, playing is OK. When I play recordings, even with authentication, playing is OK.

To Reproduce

  1. Have a jellyfin server connected to TVHeadend with mandatory login/password authentication
  2. Try to play a live TV channel
  3. Does not play

Expected behavior Live TV channels should play fine, as recordings do.

Logs When I try to play Live TV, in the log I see the ffmpeg command launched : /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -analyzeduration 3000000 -i "http://192.168.0.1:9981/stream/channelid/1156837874?ticket=D430E774C45AF2D0A141D1A62C59FB022A1309CF" -map_metadata -1 -map_cha [....] ---> There is no login password in the command line

FYI, here is the ffmpeg command launched when I play a recording : /usr/lib/jellyfin-ffmpeg/ffmpeg -f mpegts -i "http://login:password@192.168.0.1:9981/dvrfile/788633301" -map_metadata -1 -map_chapters -1 -threads 0 -map 0:0 [...] --> You could notice the login / password field is there this time.

System (please complete the following information):

Additional context Many, many thanks for the great work !

You need to enable plain authentication: Configuration / General / Base / HTTP Server Settings / Authentication type: Both plain and digest

Oh, I completely forgot this ticket !

I just did another test today, and this time it works. I guess it's the new tvheadend installation I did last year. I probably fixed some misconfiguration without even knowing it. The command line is the same, with no login/password. But since it is working, I suppose the "ticket" parameter is enough for the authentication, and I was wrong to point this as a possible cause.

Case closed, sorry for bothering you.
