Jellyfin with NextPVR 5.1.1

[mvallevand]

Because my January PR for Jellyfin has not been approved, the Jellyfin addon will fail for Live TV, unless users change Settings->Access to enable "Unauthenticated Access".

A developer did thankfully catch a bug in my initial submission which I fixed a couple of weeks ago.  I did follow up over a week ago and still did not hear back so it is not clear if the updated addon will be released .  This is part of the ongoing support release issue I have with Jellyfin, too much effort is required to have the code released.

As noted in NextPVR this setting is not recommended if the NextPVR server port is exposed to the Internet and you should consider using other clients for Live TV.

I'm sure you are correct about the difficult code release effort, but on a side note, there's a lot going on with Jellyfin right now. The latest release has crashed and caused a lot of problems for users. I haven't had an issue with the upgrade but I went through backup steps, cache emptying, etc instead of just running the install program and taking my chances but there are a lot of complaints and troubleshooting questions on their Reddit. (BTW, they closed their forum in favor of Reddit, Matrix chat and GitHub Discussion for any Jellyfin users that may read this. https://forum.jellyfin.org/t/forum-closed/4461)

I have commented before on how difficult it was to even get my 10.7.0 plugin tested with all the issues I was having with their beta and release candidates. Anytime I commented to the developers on something not working it was the addons fault, or inexplicably sub's fault for not making NextPVR open source.

To top it off even though 10.7.0 is seemed to be a full API rewrite from 10.6.0, I was told 10.8 will even be bigger and more things will break break If that turns out to be the case I don't really have the energy or desire to do this again.

I strongly suggest that users that like the interface donate to NextPVR and pay for Emby.

PS: I see you are are Roko channel developer, I look forward to reading your comments on my upcoming NextPVR channel for 5.1.1 in the next day or two.

Hi there,

wondering if this is still the case "Jellyfin addon will fail for Live TV, unless users change Settings->Access to enable "Unauthenticated Access"."

I'm not able to find this setting anywhere in Jellyfin or nextpvr

[mvallevand]

Yes this setting is explained here https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...#pid564960. Unfortunately there two "Other clients" subforums and any new information will be posted on the other one.

It's on NextPVR's Settings->Access page, at the bottom
