emveepee 112 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 NextPVR 5.1.1 was released today and addresses security concerns using the live URLs which some Emby users could be using as m3u tuners. The default setting will mean that these URL's will fail unless users change Settings->Access to enable "Unauthenticated Access". As noted in NextPVR this setting is not recommended if the NextPVR server port is exposed to the Internet. Any questions on this should be posted on the NextPVR forum.

emveepee 112 Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 Note that this setting is required for recording in the NextPVR plugin too unless you use the option to use filenames and not streaming, typically only on localhost. I was hoping to provide a more secure solution. but unfortunately after repeated requests I didn't receive any developer support on this and it appears Emby has a requirement for fixed naming for recordings but there is not point storing tokens which will expire. This security concern exists in the previous versions of NextPVR too, there just was no way to mitigate it. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlo 4330 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Thanks for the heads up on that @emveepee. Likely not much of a security concern for those running Emby as NextPVR will likely only be streaming to Emby in most setups (but not always of course).
