Updated by Which client? curl must be forced to use digest (--digest option). Or you may disable the new digest authentisation in the general / base config in tvh (not recommended - password is sent over net for this basic http auth).

It's a Kodi-Addon which uses urllib2 Authorization since times (2011). See here: https://github.com/b-jesch/service.tvh.manager/blob/master/default.py#L145

Disable Digest Authentication fixed this. You should disable this by default (or make it dependend by network config).

- Status changed from New to Rejected
No, the client should support digest auth, too. The basic auth is too weak. Note that tvheadend allows forced basic auth from client, too (client should try forcibly the basic auth without waiting for 401 / WWW-Authenticate: Basic reply).
