Error 401 Unauthorized when using ffmpeg with authorization on version 1.6.0, works fine on 1.4.2 about mediamtx

[aler9]

@carlo161 after some investigation with the configuration you provided, it turned out that when ips is not set explicitly, the default value from the default configuration is loaded, which in case of your second entry is 127.0.0.1, and this prevents access to any machine other than localhost.

This is fixed by #3316.

In the meanwhile you can fix your issue by using explicit ips in the configuration:

authInternalUsers:
- user: any
  pass:
  ips: []
  permissions:
  - action: publish
- user: carlo
  pass: carlo
  ips: []
  permissions:
  - action: read

Next time open a dedicated issue.

Thank you @timerlan I had revert to 1.5.1..

Hello, readUser and readPass were deprecated in v1.6.0, now there's a global authentication system that you can tune by editing the authInternalUsers key in the configuration.

More informations are in the configuration file.

Hello,
thanks @aler9, I tried to configure it but I cannot authenticate, my settings are:

authInternalUsers:
- user: any
  pass:
  permissions:
  - action: publish
- user: carlo
  pass: carlo
  permissions:
  - action: read

I can publish but every read attempt failed. I also tried with sha256 with the same outcome.

Thanks, I installed version 1.8.1 with the #3316 and I specify explicitly the ips in the yaml file.
