401 Unauthorized when opening any content

[jallen2281]

Hi there,

Kitana itself works, and you can browse through all the available content, however, if you click on certain channels shows, you get this:
Error on Plexy (see log): 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error for url: https://192-168-10-60.ab702f58bd984d18abd3648e3cb7a6af.plex.direct:32400/video/lifetime/seasons?title=24%20To%20Life&url=http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/24-to-life

If you follow the URL in the error, you get a 401 Unauthorized error.

I've also verified that this same problem exists locally, if you append the uri to the server, although I'm not sure that even SHOULD work? (http://ip:port/video/lifetime/seasons?title=24%20To%20Life&url=http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/24-to-life)

Some of the shows that open outside of the app in their own window are working fine. i.e - The CW, or HGTV Canada shows.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
I got exactly the same issue (with channel trakt.tv)- no solution find yet...

[pannal]

Is this still an issue?

[timothevs]

Hi @pannal , yes this is still an issue. I have tried all modes, Direct, Relay, and remote.

Any solution for this - need to do a full sync with the trakt-scrobbler plug-in

[pannal]

Wait. Just because you're all seeing something vaguely similar doesn't mean you have the same issues as the OP.

OP sees a 401 because he tried opening a Plex URL without supplying X-Plex-Token. That's normal. His issue is probably originally because of the full unescaped http URL in his parameter.

I can only help you individually if you supply sufficient logs and information about your environments.

@jallen2281 please provide logs for the original issue

i was looking for the solution for one year, finally found the token (somehow secretive) in Plex movie infor -> XML.

Well yeah, it's public information: https://support.plex.tv/articles/204059436-finding-an-authentication-token-x-plex-token/
