MacOS nextPVR client access issue

[drvolks]

Hi!
I'm trying to use the macOS version of the nextpvr client. Live TV works fine but I'm unable to play any recordings.

I used Charles proxy to debug and from what I understand either the client should provide a SID or the server should allow the request without a SID...

The Mac client request this url : http://10.0.0.57:8866/live?recording=865

In the server logs I see this error

Code:

[color=#fc2118][font=Monaco][50] Unexpected error streaming recording: System.Collections.Generic.KeyNotFoundException: The given key 'sid' was not present in the dictionary.[/font][/color]
[color=#fc2118][font=Monaco]   at NShared.Streaming.StreamingHelper.StreamNativeRecording(ServiceResponseStream responseStream, Dictionary`2 parameters[/font][/color]

If I use this same url in a browser where I'm already authenticated to nextpvr it works fine. The cookie grant me access

Code:

GET /live?recording=865 HTTP/1.1
Host: 10.0.0.57:8866
Accept-Language: fr-CA,fr;q=0.9

For live TV I see this url is being used by the Mac client
http://10.0.0.57:8866/live?channel_id=72...100114f6cf

Finally if I manually wget to http://10.0.0.57:8866/live?recording=865...100114f6cf the download starts, so the SID is definitely required to make it work.

BTW I do have "Unauthenticated Access" enabled.U

Can you post the server logs?

Maybe see if this updated server dll helps

Yes there is a know bug in Unauthenticated Access" for recordings that is causing recordings.m3u and Jellyfin exports to fail too. It doesn't require a valid sid but it does require the parameter.

Yeah, must have been a dependency introduced somewhere along the way. Hopefully that NShared.dll will do the job.

Hello-
I'm having the same SID error with NextPVR on linux (Ubuntu), version 6.1.5. It does not give the error for recordings for version Version: 6.1.3.230521. I tried the NShared.dll and it did not fix the error.

eriberg, you probaly shouldn't have hijacked this thread but is your problem using an m3u file with some client you didn't name?
