Wear OS: Application does not playback/download music

Support

Issue description:

Hello,

I’m experiencing an issue with the Wear OS application: it cannot stream or download any music. The Wear OS app correctly displays all my available music, but playback and downloads don’t work.

On my Android phone, Symfonium works perfectly without any problems (streaming, downlaod, playback etc.).

For reference:

  • Server: Subsonic (Navidrome)
  • Authentication: HTTP Basic Auth
  • Logs have been uploaded under my username.

Best regards,
Julian

Check the proxy / navidrome error for details about why it returns error 401

It looks as if the HTTP Basic Auth header is lost when the request comes via the Wear OS application. The user agent ‘Lavf/60.16.100’ is also strange, but the IPv6 comes from my Pixel 8.

Edit: I also found a “okhttp/5.0.0-alpha.16” User Agent that has problems with Basic Auth. I uploaded the server log via the upload form.

Arf do you think you can give me an access in private to quickly repro and fix ?

I used the upload function to provide you some login credentials :slight_smile:

Thanks will look into that tomorrow.

Will be fixed in next release, you can workaround by setting the basic Authorization header in the custom header part and not the proxy auth.
