Authentication Failure Suddenly

[LongJohnTX]

First of all, thanks for such a great project. It worked great for me for months, but just today (9/18/19), I was no longer able to stream due to an authentication failure:

WARNING:/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/sxm/client.py:Received status code 403 for path 'modify/authentication'
ERROR:/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/sxm/client.py:Unable to authenticate because login failed
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/tenacity/init.py", line 361, in call
result = fn(*args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/sxm/client.py", line 233, in authenticate
raise AuthenticationError("Reset session")
sxm.client.AuthenticationError: Reset session

I found that by changing the FakeUserAgent signature from "chrome" to "firefox" in client.py, I was able to get it going again. I don't know if they had put a trap in the handling on their end to fix something that was broken in the Chrome browser, or if they are trying to pick off rogue clients by their User-agent signature.

With your knowledge of the handshaking, you may be able to diagnose this more deeply than I am currently able to.

Hi, I just started playing around with this and got the unable to authenticate:

ERROR:C:\Users\simon\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.8_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python38\site-packages\sxm\client.py:Unable to authenticate because login failed

I tried the fix above - replacing chrome with firefox in client.py but this didn't make any difference.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Are you sure this is a fix? I changed it and it still gives me auth failure.
