I don't think the issue is related to alt tabbing, my thoughts are that it's a permissions related issue that I'm unaware about on Jellyfin.

Is the person Feishin accessing your server on an account with limited permissions to your server?

[pokemonrocks9]

To my knowledge they have the same permission as most on the server and it's only them with the issue.

Feishin logs you out if you get a HTTP 401 status code on any API request.

Can you have them open the browser dev tools via CTRL + SHIFT + I or from the app menu and try replicating the issue and checking which API request is giving them the 401?

feishin/src/renderer/api/jellyfin/jellyfin-api.ts

Lines 272 to 276 in 663893d

	if (error.response && error.response.status === 401) {
	const currentServer = useAuthStore.getState().currentServer;
	authenticationFailure(currentServer);
	}

It seems in console we have
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 (Unauthorized)
(Server IP and UserToken)/items?Fields=ChildCount%2C%20Genres%2C%20DateCreated%2C%20ParentId%2C%20Overview&IncludeItemTypes=Playlist&MediaTypes=Audio&Recursive=true&SortBy=SortName&SortOrder=Ascending&StartIndex=0

To add as well I have begun getting the same error

[pokemonrocks9]

Also have a
token is expired: undefined
renderer.js:2

Sorry for the late response, but I believe this may have had something to do with how the app was fetching playlists (not 100% sure). I've added a way to re-authenticate whenever running into the expired session.

Going to close this for now, but will we can re-open this if you still experience this after the next release.

Hi, I hope I am wrong on my end, but from the looks of it, this issue needs to be opened again.

I have been getting random "session expired" with the same 401 'unauthorized' as seen here in this issue.
This issue has been present for me and my family members since version 4.0.0, and frequent entry of login credentials has become muscle memory 😅.
I have used Jellyfin 10.8.10 and am currently on 10.8.11, both having the same issue on Feishin.

I mainly use the Windows version of Feishin, but have seen random "expired" sessions on Mac and in the browser version as well.
Is there something I'm missing?

P.S.: Sorry for only reporting this just now, I was incredibly busy.

edit: I'm currently on 10.8.10, as playlists in 3rd party apps haven't been able to show up on that version yet.

I'm also noticing mysterious "session expired" after long disuse with Navidrome, both Navidrome and Feishin running on Linux.

Opening the server edit page and re-saving gets it going again, at least.

This is not mysterious; Navidrome's credentials are temporary (https://www.navidrome.org/docs/usage/configuration-options/#:~:text=false-,sessiontimeout,-ND_SESSIONTIMEOUT). When you save the password or re-save the server, it generates new credentials. This is unlike Jellyfin, whose credentials do not expire (as far as I understand)

This is not mysterious;

Session timing out might not be mysterious, what's mysterious is why Feishin does not recreate it automatically like every other client. It has the password and username saved right there, after all.

If (and only if) you selected save password, then it should reauthenticate on failure. But this could also be blocked by #403 (resolved hopefully by #510). If you're using web, the password is never stored

I will be closing this issue as the issue in my earlier comment was addressed (and some better fixes done).
