Fix profile switching by replacing API call#1783
Conversation
…itchProfile The /api/shakti/mre/profiles/switch endpoint was removed by Netflix, causing 404 errors on profile switch. Replace with the /SwitchProfile endpoint which handles server-side profile switching, followed by a /browse fetch to obtain a fresh authURL. PIN verification is handled separately before this method is called, so the old PIN limitation of /SwitchProfile no longer applies.

Works for me, thank you very much! |

also testing working profile switch and playback on profiles with no pin |

When it will be released? |

Manually applied using patch on my tuner. Works like charm. Profile switching works. |
Same here, this patch makes it work again on my CoreElec Machine. Thank you! |

Can confirm this works. Always back up your files first! |

Summary
Details
Netflix seems to have removed the /api/shakti/mre/profiles/switch API, breaking profile switching with a 404 error. The /SwitchProfile?tkn=GUID endpoint was previously abandoned (May 2020) because it didn't work for PIN-locked profiles, but PIN verification is now handled separately in directory_utils.py:verify_profile_pin before activate_profile is called, making this limitation irrelevant.
Test plan
I did not test to switch to a PIN-locked profile — PIN prompt appears, switch works after entering correct PIN
Tested on:
