Please describe your bug

When i try to add livetv to jellyfin (ersatztv) i get the following error in the jellyfin log:

Dashboard -> Live TV -> M3U Tuner -> URL: http://local.ip:8409/channels.m3u
(Also tried other useragents to no avail).

jellyfin    | [01:32:05] [INF] [74] Jellyfin.Api.Auth.CustomAuthenticationHandler: AuthenticationScheme: CustomAuthentication was forbidden.

I found a reddit post that suggested clearing the JELLYFIN_CONFIG/cache/*_channels folders.. but these did not exist.

https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/vqsfi1/comment/iev9qtn/

The ersatztv m3u and xmltv urls don't use any authentication, so i'm guessing this is a jellyfin bug? If more info needs to be supplied please let me know.

I have the same issue with Jellyfin Version 10.8.9. Both M3U and HD Homerun Tuners are affected. Any Provider is affected.

Seems like this issue only occurs if an older jellyfin versions gets upgraded to 10.8.9. Because I ran a test with a freshy installed 10.8.9 and it works there.

With 10.8.9 there was a change regarding livetv auth. Maybe a regression? https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/9130

Edit: Downgraded 10.8.9 to 10.8.8. Adding LiveTV works fine again & Log is looking good 👍

Same problem as well. I was able to add one then couldn't add a second. I tried removing the first one I add...and I keep getting the same message in error using version 10.8.10

Jellyfin.Api.Auth.CustomAuthenticationHandler: AuthenticationScheme: "CustomAuthentication" was forbidden.
