I installed the Android app on my S21 Ultra phone with Android 11.

1. The app can connect to the server without any setup changes even though I changed my pin and password on the server settings. Shouldn't it be asking me for the pin or password?

I would like that people cannot connect without the pin or password.

I set up the Kodi plugin on one of my PCs and it is working using the pin that I set up.

I did not check Allow Unauthenticated Access.

2. Playing video only works if I have Direct Play checked. Does Direct Play mean no transcoding is done? I could not find an explanation in the Wiki.

I have NextPVR converting all files from .ts to 1020p .MP4 so is that why Direct Play works?

Thanks.

The only way to prevent local LAN PIN access to the API is to block the UDP discovery port 16881 on the server. Internet users cannot use this.

Hi Martin,
I want people to be able to access using the pin, but my Android app seems to access even though I did not set my pin in it.

I don ot want people to be able to access with the Android app if they do not have the pin.

Thanks

Right so disable that UDP port on your firewall,and they will have to type in the PIN.
