Have compiled ready to go version but its looks like has lot of bugs 4.3 version (freezes etc). Can you tell me how to build same version 4.2.6 stable-presume?

Robert Cameron

The sources are available on GitHub. Go to the releases tab and download the 4.2.6 archive.

Or, if you are cloning the GitHub repo, after you clone it switch to the "release/4.2" branch, or use "tags/v4.2.6"

Bob Blob

Ok so 4.2.6 package followed compile steps (./configure, make). No problems at configure but unfortunately make end up with couple errors. Tried 4.3 and has been compiled without issues.

4.2 output:

Hi,

In new version is there any more simple solution to prolong ticket lifetime or cancel ticket (token) at all?

Paul M

this does seem like it should be a user-configurable item.

but, you could also use the persistent authentication system instead, if you want the tickets to remain valid indefinitely.

Georger Geo

Dear Paul hi,

Could you please provide more details how to config permanent authentication system? I also need to stream iptv playlist to external users with external Ip.

Paul M

Hi,
Edit the user's password and in the and section you can see persistent authentication, enable it and save, then re-edit and you'll see a long string.

You can use that string in the stream url, with ?AUTH=

See https://tvheadend.org/d/6390-docs-for-api?r=36465#message-36465 for a discussion about this sort of thing.

Dear Paul
Please can you give me an example how to include persistent authentication in http link:

EXAMPLE:
my link is : http://192.168.9.40:9981/stream/service/49ec440e806ac24cfbf8455ad8321a86?ticket=5c3c8826c9db1635b2202465e0080012376dbb50
username : iptv
Persistent authentication code: PgqNdY9K2YnczQ0OUXUFaL51QmD8

Which will be the link with ?AUTH= ?

Please write me an example.

Georger Geo

Thank you, Ill try.

leo I believe it should be
http://192.168.9.40:9981/stream/service/49ec440e806ac24cfbf8455ad8321a86?auth=PgqNdY9K2YnczQ0OUXUFaL51QmD8
though I've never tried using persistent authentication.

davep CORRECT 🙂
