VidHub broken with Jellyfin 12.0 – anyone else?
Hey! Just upgraded my Jellyfin server to 12.0 and VidHub stopped working completely. After some digging I figured out what’s going on.
Jellyfin 12.0 dropped support for the old X-Emby-Authorization header. Everything now has to go through the standard Authorization header with the MediaBrowser format. Any client that hasn’t made this change will just get auth errors, no matter how correct your credentials are.
I already fixed this on my end for another Jellyfin client I maintain, so I can confirm that’s exactly the issue – swapping the header fixes it immediately.
Would love to see VidHub updated to support this. It’s a pretty straightforward fix on the client side, and Jellyfin 12.0 is already widely deployed. A lot of us are holding off on upgrading our servers just because of client compatibility.
Is this on the roadmap? Happy to share more technical details if it helps the devs.
