Jellyfin.Api.Auth.CustomAuthenticationHandler: CustomAuthentication was not authentic - miek - 2025-02-13
So, when I look at my logs, I see the following messages just "spamming" over and over and over non stop. I am able to scan in new media no issues. Playback isn't an issue. Everything appears to be working, I just can't seem to figure out why this error is spamming like it is

I don't have any plugins installed except for the default few. So no clue what the problem is.

9 times out of 10 this is a TV client (Android TV or Roku) whose token has expired or was revoked and you never re-logged in on it. So it is continuously trying to log in with an invalid token until you go to that TV and provide new credentials.

Ah so it's most likely one of my friends who just needs to "relog". Cool. That makes me feel a lot better. Sucks it's spamming the logs though, but at least it's "Hopefully" a nothing issue.
