Tvheadend with VLC and User Credentials
Added by Jack Jordan over 3 years ago
HEllo,
I need to use VLC with tvheadend with user authentication, i downloaded the playlist m3u file but no matter what the system is not allowing me to open vlc stream unless i configure user * and password * in tvheadend users list, this will allow the stream to work in vlc but not what i want, i want to have user authentication to open VLC streams
I tried to download the playlist using https://user:pass@server:9981:tvheadend/playlist/auth/channels and http://user:password@server:9981/playlist/channels with no luck, i am using version HTS Tvheadend 4.3-1967~geb59284b8, please advise

What is permissions of user?
Basically it need streaming/advanced streaming and web interface permissions.
To work auth need at password to be enabled persistent password.

Persistent authentication not enabled.
Go also to Setting and enable Digest ant Plain authentication
