TV Anywhere and YouTube TV

[mkgough]

Hello there,

Anyone know how to get the TV Anywhere to add YouTube TV? I try logging in and just get a Blocked message from Google when logging in. Anyone find a way to get this to work?

I get no notification on my Google account so now idea what is being rejected? The TV Anywhere App? or the type of login they use?

Thanks,

Is There a Fix for YTTV (browser or app may not be secure)?

I've searched the forums and haven't come across a fix for this. I'm running v2023.09.19.0804 on a Synology NAS. I've updated Chrome through the Troubleshooting tab and switched from Cloudfare as my DNS host...still can't login to add YTTV as a TVE source. Anyone got this figured out? Diagnostic Logs sent.

Hi there,
I'm assuming you are using a Synology NAS.
I would make sure to upgrade to the latest pre-release to get the latest fixes as they appear.
Google doesn't like automated browser access. I would suggest clicking suppport>troubleshooting and checking to see the status of your embedded Chrome.
I would suggest submitting diagnostics to support.

Yeah I am using a Synology with the latest software versions. It is a Google sign in issue for sure with the way Channels / TV Anywhere does Auth to Google.

[mkgough]

Yup... same issue

[mkgough]

Guessing this is the issue... they need to change the Auth type.

What developers need to know

The solution for developers currently using CEF for authentication is the same: browser-based OAuth authentication. Aside from being secure, it also enables users to see the full URL of the page where they are entering their credentials, reinforcing good anti-phishing practices. If you are a developer with an app that requires access to Google Account data, switch to using browser-based OAuth authentication today.
