Add Authorization header to media player requests

[KarolKsionek]

When opening Media Player in HA we weren't passing Authorization data in requests for thumbnails and video itself, so requests couldn't be completed successfully.

Thank you for your code.

FYI: This fix somehow breaks the ability to see thumbs and view/play videos. Reverting to views.py from 0.3.9. fixes this back to work for me.

Do you mean thumb and video in Media section?
It's working for me.

I get a 500 server error on the media folder:

Trying to play a file I get a MIMEType error

[roleoroleo]

Which version of ha?

Same problem here
Home Assistant 2022.9.7

I have the same error 500 and no file playing problem in HA 2022.9.6

As @dieideeistgut pointed, the problem is solved by restoring views.py from v0.3.9

[roleoroleo]

Tested now with my 2022.9.7 and I have no problems.
Please add some details: cam (type and hack version), password/no password, etc...

I think this may not be directly related to yi-hack. It could as well be some reverse-proxy config. In my case i have HA behind a traefik proxy. So authentication params may not be routed to HA the way HA expect these. Just a thought. Will run some tests over the weekend.

Sorry, I was on vacation.

I just updated to HA 2022.10.0 and have the same problem. The camera is a Yi dome camera 1080p running https://github.com/roleoroleo/yi-hack-MStar

Hmm, that may be my case as well, I run HA on my Kubernetes cluster behind traefik, will look into that

The HTTPBasicAuth is an object intended to be passed as .request(auth=HTTPBasicAuth(user,password) but is instead added to the headers of the request.

See https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/authentication/ and https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/client_reference.html#basic-api

aiohttp has its own authentication class aiohttp.BasicAuth, after that change everything was working.

I don't know how any of this worked in the first place, will open a PR with the change I made
