Password preventing connection about syncplay-mobile HOT 5 OPEN

@ultr41337h4xor Thank you for bringing this to light. It might well be due to the TLS feature, or just a regression due to the full re-write of the code after embracing Kotlin/Native Compose multiplatform. For now, you can use an older version (such as 0.12.0), they are all mainly written for Android and do not have the TLS feature.

Hard to assess what might be going wrong without an example of a password and associated hash generated from Syncplay mobile, but please bear in mind that Syncplay PC client uses hashlib.md5(config['password'].encode('utf-8')).hexdigest(). The hash is lowercase, so for example foobar becomes 3858f62230ac3c915f300c664312c63f.

@Et0h Spot on! Server was responding with {"Error": {"message": "Wrong password supplied"}} which pointed to a problem in hash. Turns out it was generated in upper case whereas it was expected in lowercase. Thanks!

Hi @ultr41337h4xor, much appreciated for the feedback :)

I am guessing you are hosting your own private server on a PC or trying to access one that is hosted by someone else ? Syncplay has its own set of public servers which are not password-protected. Just to clarify any misconceptions, the password feature is mainly for the server itself and not for the rooms. Provided that you're aware of all of this, the password feature may be broken (I haven't really tested it at all), could you please test using the official Syncplay PC client ?

Thanks for the quick reply! It is a private, password-protected server, hosted on another one of my computers. The rooms are not password protected. The PC clients can connect without issue. I'm pretty sure the feature is broken, as I've tried connecting with version 0.12 and the mobile client connected instantly to the same server.

Maybe the problem is connected with the new TLS feature? As I tried to shut it off and couldn't turn the setting off (it resets to "on", as soon as I back out of the menu),
