I think the URL bar method of changing permissions is probably easier then digging in settings.

Ok martin, so I could allow playback, but a doubt:

the "!" icon in the URL bar indicates that the site is not encrypted and the authorization would also apply to really dangerous sites and could be a risk.

Yep, that is totally normal, it's running http not https. NextPVR can't supply certificates for the web servers users are running in their own homes - that's just not practical. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this though.

If it really bothers you and you want to be using https, you can definitely set it up, but it's something you'd need to do yourself. You'd typically do it by installing a 3rd party web server like nginx, and buying your own certificates or using a service like LetsEncrypt, and have it proxy pass to NextPVR.

Martin is correct ... as always.

Changing permissions in the address bar is better than using Settings.  A change to permissions made in the address bar applies to only one website.

When a NextPVR Web App page is displayed in Edge (or Firefox) ...Click on the "i" icon at the left end of the address bar and then click Site Permissions .. the list of permissions is headed with the identifier for your NextPVR Server machine.

No, it absolutely does not bother me, it was only to understand the reason for that message that moreover I can bypass.
I prefer not to take potential risks by decreasing security.
Thanks.

Well, if the permission allowed in the addreess bar is only for that single site, I can do it without any risk!
