[SOLVED] Auth issue VLC

Hi all.
I've just recently updated TVH to 4.3 and I'm having a headache with VLC client:
After I login through http://user:pass@ip:9981/playlist/channels I'm being asked frequently for the credentials when switching channels.

Channels are working and everything is fine but... is it there a way to not being asked again for the credentials when switching channels???
I can't find the fix, I've tried changing the http auth method and many other options but nothing had worked for me.
Thx guys.

Hi saen acro.
Thx for your reply.
In v4.3 there isn't or i couldn't find the "persistent password" option.
Anyway if I use http://user:pass@ip:9981/playlist/auth/channels URL, it resolves a 400 Bad Request.

I had to use the old method to fix the issue: changing the hardcoded ticket expiration #define in acces.c and building again.
It worked for me.

Thx!

Srry mate, but I don't have that option.
I saw a picture from you in another post where is the persistent auth checkbox, but there isn't in my version 4.3.

hmmm interesting.
I can only find 4.3, not the 0.0.XXXX
I cloned https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/tree/v4.3
maybe thats the reason why.
Where should i get the latest?
Its a bit confusing to find the right place.
Ty!
