Thanks for that. Looks like the authentication system has changed for VirginMedia. Can you please enable Homebridge Debug mode and send me a debug log snippet. I need to see the response that is coming from the VirginMedia system

I've also just released 2.2.11-beta.2 where the mqtt dependency has had a major update, you could try this but I don't think it will change your issue.

[absreda]

Thanks - sent. Let me know if you need any more info.

[absreda]

Thanks. I sent across some logs - hope it's helpful. Let me know if you need any other info.

Sorry for the delay, life has been busy. I'm publishing a new beta tonight: v2.2.12-beta.1, which updates a few things, but also gives you the possibility of setting a custom masterChannelRefreshCheckInterval (in seconds) using a value in the config file
I have no errors with my provider so your issue is going to be tricky to solve. the logs didn't show me anything I didn't know...

[jsiegenthaler]

I published a new beta tonight where you can change the masterChannelRefreshCheckInterval to a value of your choosing. In seconds. This will hopefully reduce the annoying log entries. I need to think about the auth issue in your country more. My country works fine.... Jochen

Thanks Jochen. Installed the beta and set an interval of 1 day for now...

I have the same issue, and I am using Telenet (Belgium).

Hi All Watchers: I am not ignoring this issue, I will recommence work on it in January. Any and all help appreciated...
