Error: Need to authenticate with TV! Please enter the PIN that appears on your TV at adres

The TV Displays the PIN screen. When i visit the by homebridge defined adres, i enter my pin and press submit it keeps loading till a time out. When i directly paste adres/?pin=PIN in my browser,i do get the message "PIN PIN sent" However, homebridge doesn't receive the pin / the TV keeps displaying the PIN screen.

When i set up a custom pin port, i get the message "PIN PIN sent" without any timeouts. However, homebridge doesn't receive the pin / the TV keeps displaying the PIN screen.

I gave these folders Read, write, and execute permissions (sudo chmod -R 777) /usr/local/lib/node_modules ~/.homebridge ~/.npm

Software versions: homebridge-bravia v2.2.1 homebridge-config-ui-x v4.21.0 Node.js v14.3.0 Npm v6.14.5 OSX 10.15.15

TV (most recent software) Model: Bravia 2015 Version: 7.0 Kernel: 3.19.79 root@BuildHost153 #1 Fri Oct 19 01:32:19 JST 2018 Build:SVPDTV15_EU-user 7.0 NRD91N.S28 5.417 release-keys

With my Samsung TV's (also Pin setup) i don't have problems. Is there a way to fix this, or activate without pin?

Theres no way to set up the TV without a PIN, no.

Don't know about your issue, maybe some firewall configuration? Another server on the same machine? Did you try using a port above 10,000?

Resolved: In TV settings there was already granted acces to "homebridge", probable from a previous version. After removing in the TV setting, i set it up and it directly worked. Thanks for the super fast reply anyway!

Hm, funny really as the TV should register with a completely new ID, it should just add the new item to that list. Anyway, glad your resolved your issue.
