xml always returns unauthorized

[bobalo 0]

Hi community,

I have a problem trying to add my xml list as a guided data source. No matter what I do I can never get it to work as it's always returning unauthorized.

I've a tvheadend server that DOES require http authentication in order to retrieve the mentioned list, but I'm not sure how to input my username / password.

I tried various things like :

http://user:password@tvheadendserver:9981/xmltv/channels - unauthorized

http://tvheadendserver:9981/xmltv/channels?username=someuserj&password=somepass - unauthorized

If I copy and paste both those links into a new browser, I can retrieve the list without issues, so I know I'm not doing something wrong there.

Logs :

Can someone please assist me? Would really like to get it going.

Also if someone knows if theres some sort of whitelist for xmltv at tvheadend, like per IP, let me know, since I can't really disable auth for it.

Hi, maybe you need to configure something in TV headend to allow this?

Not sure what, I've checked the settings, only thing I can do is disable authentication.

How does it work when I enter the URL at browser with user/pass in the link, and it won't when it's entered in emby?

I'll try to seek out some help in the tvheadend forums, but I doubt it's their issue, since it works in the browser, and only not in emby.

does your password have any non-alphanumeric characters?

Nope, it's pretty simple, three characters and three numbers, a-z , 1-10.

What authentication type did you set in tvheadend?
