Switch to digest auth for Tvheadend

[jfarseneau]

Newer versions of Tvheadend use digest auth for requests. This breaks the way antennas is currently set up, and it needs to be upgraded for it to work.

I found this as well. As a workaround for now, you can configure TVH to accept basic auth under the General settings

Oh, excellent, thanks @allanak! I've got a fix in the work that I just need to get back to when I get the time, but definitely very good workaround for people in the meantime.

@allanak
I still get "Failed to authenticate with Tvheadend" after switching to basic auth. Is there another spot it needs to be changed? This was in config -> general -> base -> advanced. Alternately do you know when the change happened so I can roll back tvheadend?

edit:

looks like the change to digest was around april last year. Im using linuxserver/tvheadend:stable-4.0.9 docker container to work around until digest is supported with antennas

I'm getting much closer to this working. I have digest auth implemented on my new branch, and it connects and now lists all the channels.

One thing that you do have to do on the Tvheadend side though is to create a * user that has access to streams and nothing else (you can restrict it to your own internal network)

I'll put up instructions for this when I merge the changes in (which includes a complete rewrite of Antennas to Node), which will also include Antennas showing up automatically without having to manually type in the IP, using SSDP.

Digest auth implemented and merged in 3.0.
