Is there any reason why http streams has to be disabled?

Hi,

I have an Vu+ UNO4K. I have always setup in the OpenWebif “Enable Authentication for streaming” to “ON”.

Then in the Customize menu I have the “Require authentication for http streams” set to “ON” as well.

These settings have always worked for me without any problems at all.

All of a sudden, I have installed the “OpenPLi 6.2-release (2018-06-20-release-6.2)” this feature will not work anymore, unless I set this to “OFF” in the Customize settings.

Is there a reason for this, because now whoever wants to will stream my channels without a password?

I have checked this as well in VLC. I don’t require a password anymore for streaming.

Why has this been changed?

Best Regards
