[hello_world.c]

Showing the channel icons from tvheadend used to work great, but I now discovered when adding new channels that Kodi wouldn't show their icons and the ones that were still shown were cached locally. After delete all local data, they're all gone. So I have to investigate....

Tvheadend version is 4.3-1236. Channel icons no longer work in any of the various Kodi 17.x devices (openelec, libreelec, Windows, Ubuntu). In Tvheadend web ui, channel icons are available. They are shown in the "broadcast details" window and in the channel list, they all have a file:/// path in the "user icon" column and an "imagecache/xxx" in the icon URL column. From a webbrowser, I can show any icon by entering "tvheadend_ip:9981/imagecache/xxx". So it actually looks good on that end. But no matter what I do on the Kodi side, channel icons stay empty.

Any ideas how I could track down what goes wrong?

Just found the solution, a setting/option changed in Tvheadend: https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread/1253-l...#post86589

Hope it helps someone.

Thank you for the workaround to enable basic authN. I wonder if there is a bug trac'd for Kodi developers to add digest authentication support to their, I'm guessing, curl implementation based on the errors seen, and that we can confirm via packet captures that the 401 Unauthrozied is sending back the nonce...etc. for digest authentication.
