Jellystat Invalid Userrname or password / [JELLYFIN-API]: 401 Unauthorized - rippernz - 2025-12-16
Hi,
Looking for a bit of help please.
Running Jellystat in Unraid Docker with psql15
Moved over from the other app to this better one
Jellystat has been running well for a while and then all of a sudden it wasn't able to connect to Jellyfin anymore, all syncs would fail, no user stats.
Went to check the setting and in put the API key again and i got
"Error Updating Configuration: 401 Unauthorized"
I tried using API's that i know work from things like Sonarr and Radarr but the same thing happens
The logs in Jellystat show
[JELLYFIN-API]: 401 Unauthorized
The logs in Jellyfin show
Jellyfin.Api.Middleware.ExceptionMiddleware: Error processing request: Token is required. URL GET /socket.
I have been troubleshooting this for about 2 weeks off and on and not able to get my head around what's happened
I have tried:
- Fresh install of Jellystat - Same issue
- New DB for Jellystat - Same issue
- remove Postgres and Jellystat and start it fresh - same issue
- backup jellyfin, setup Jellyfin container from Official repo, restore backup, same issue.
- tried changing Docker networks, both are currently on Host, have had both on bridge and the issues persists.
I asked on the jellystat subredit and was given this post, Jellyfin has become unusable and slow in the last few weeks : r/jellyfin
I made the changes recommended but it made no difference.
Upgraded to the latest version and same issue.
Anyone come across this before that might be able to shed some light on this?
Thanks

Are you running 10.12?
We disabled legacy authentication there to force clients to upgrade. You can temporarily allow legacy auth by editing system.xml

That change resolved the issue, thank you for you for that, i will go check the jellystat git and see if this has been reported or fixes coming.
thanks again.
