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).
